PHILOKALIA MINISTRIES

Desire, Wonder, and the Communion of Hearts There is a line from the film Shadowlands  that has stayed with many of us because it names something quietly essential. We read to know we are not alone.  The sentence does not exhaust the purpose of reading but it touches a mystery at the heart of it. When words are true they do not merely inform. They recognize us. They find us where we are already standing. And in that recognition a communion is born. Scripture knows this well.
