The Lutheran in me has an apprehension to the word "mystic" as the word is often abused to speak of an unmediated encounter with God in an esoteric sense. Rather the encounter with God is by His grace through Word and Sacrament. It is an encounter with grace, an encounter with the Gospel. Rather than speaking of a direct experience with God (apart from God's work and word), it may be more helpful to speak of an awareness of grace. Even a very profound awareness of grace.
