In an early essay, Teilhard describes the natural root and stages of his spiritual growth in terms of five concentric circles. These circles are his stepping stones into an ever deepening mystical life. They plot his growth and development as he spirals ever more deeply into the heart of matter where he eventually finds himself within the very heart of God. During this day of prayer and reflection, we will step with Teilhard through these circles, allowing his experience to open our contemplative hearts to the wonders of our universe and to the Divine Presence that dwells there.
