Very good reflection on what this famous instance can teach us . I always found this incident remarkable as it is the only recorded instance of which I am aware of an “joint” contemplative or mystical experience . I know of a Dominican Friar who when he is in Rome , always makes a pilgrimage to Ostia to honor this sacred memory and spend time with the Lord . And yes it would be a fuller experience when done with a Christian companion.
I can’t think of other instances off the top of my head, but it seems that the nature of God as triune would point toward an opportunity for contemplation to be richer when shared.
So good, man. Thanks for sharing your insights. Further up and further in.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
