In the posted article about Mother Seton, the author discusses the main components of her spirituality and faith. The author points our Mysticism and Contemplation as large parts of her spiritual life. Briefly explain your understanding of mysticism, and what it means to "be a mystic." (This will come up again in Rolheiser's Book.) Also explain your understanding of contemplation and a contemplative spirit or presence. How can we, as fellow Christians (or even non-Christians) practice mysticism and contemplation? What are the fruits of these practices? Be thorough in your response. Don't forget to reply to 2 classmates as well.
