"The Pursuit of Happiness" Panel

Earlier on Saturday David Frenette, Mike Potter, Susan Komis and Carl Arico (shown L-R below) led workshops on various topics of spiritual enrichment. In the afternoon the quartet formed a panel, moderated by Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler, to reflect upon and respond to one segment of Fr. Thomas’s newly released CD/DVD series, Heartfulness: Transformation in Christ.”

The segment, The Pursuit of Happiness,” was shown just prior to the panel convening and included these themes: the desire for happiness; the nature of the false self and programs for happiness; the purpose of the spiritual journey; repetance; silence and the Divine therapy; and, the True Self.

The panel begins by responding to Gail's question, “Who are you in God?" in the following video. At the end Gail mentions ways in which viewers of the new series might watch it contemplatively, slowly and receptively savoring and opening to the spiritual nourishment contained within.

Fr. Thomas's "Gift Homily"

Fr. Thomas delivered this homily as part of a liturgy on Saturday August 15, 2009 at a meeting of the Circle of Service of Contemplative Outreach at St. Walburga's Monastery in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The homily preceeded within the liturgy the signing of a deed of gift by members of the Circle,  whereby Fr. Thomas's lifetime of intellectual work (books, videos, etc.) will in time be entrusted to the stewardship of Contemplative Outreach. The homily is in three parts and was shown at the closing session of the conference.
