PHILIP CHIRCOP

A Jesuit priest born on the Mediterranean Island of Malta. Presently, although living in a Toronto Jesuit Community, I can say that the road is my home as I travel to give retreats and facilitate workshops and semianrs on practical spirituality, or the spirituality of the daily ordinary.

I consider myself an artist at heart and madly in love with all things beautiful and soulful: music, painting, sculpture, photography, film, theatre, poetry, good company, good food, good wine and more.

I strongly believe that beauty is a uniquely wonderful entry into the mystery of the God “whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.”

God can indeed be sensed and experienced in all things if we have ears to hear and eyes to see, if we have the patience to have a long, loving look at the real that surrounds us.

I consider myself a seeker with bottomless curiosity, exploring and employing new, fresh and creative ways to proclaim the Good News in the hope of helping fellow pilgrims and seekers to embrace real and radical changes that will lead to radical conversion and transformation.
