My yesterday's post told of a misstep of mine and the long haul I'd need to take to get free of me. The following three sentences (God-directions, actually) came to me after that post.
Forgiveness is giving up your investment in and identification with your own painful story. - Fr. Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," June 13, 2015
The other two are quotes of Francis of Assisi from Rohr's post of today, June 14th:
You can show your love to others by not wishing that they should be better Christians.
We must bear patiently not being good . . . and not being thought good.
To me, those sentences are the How To guide for ego reduction in depth. I also believe that all three are applicable in all our lives at any minute of any day up to and including right this very instant.
Now, how do we apply them?
Love and laughter. Love of our self and others; laughter at our self, with others.
Thank you.
