From Mass to Meaning: Spirituality in the Age of Digital Identity with Javier, Mexican entrepreneur

March 4, 2026 • 4 mins

"I feel like spirituality is shifting from something that was conditional and embedded in authority into something that it's more like wellness, self-care, a little bit like self-centered in a way. It's very often a truth that suits me rather than me surrendering to what actually is. So overall, I feel like religion is going beyond the institutions and still subject to the ego, to the self." We are having a series...

Our Conversation is in Heaven with Laurence Freeman for WCCM+

November 19, 2025 • 9 mins

Authentic spirituality is not above justice or human suffering. Spiritual truth is reflected in the gritty realities of the world whether it is honoured or denied. Feelings and relationships are part of our spiritual path but so too are social and political responsibilities. We are a single body, embodied in Christ. The old translation of St Paul`s phrase our conversation is in heaven sounds strange to us today. But reflect how our...

The Muscle of Attention

October 31, 2025 • 1 min

Fr Laurence’s reflecting on one of the passages of his newly launched book ‘Tasting Wisdom’: "Without attention all these essential human aspects of growth, focusing, listening, tending towards the needs of others and our own needs, learning what we don't know, and understanding in a deeper and richer way, the mystery that we are part of... all of this growth process can be lost if we lose the art of attention." #wccmbooks #laure...

Joy Is Deeper Than Desire

September 17, 2025 • 6 mins

Meditation doesn’t destroy desire, but it does transform desire. It puts you into touch with what you really want. In quite a radical way of sorting and simplifying ourselves, it puts you back into touch with your basic need, which is your basic desire. Then joy springs up.
