When you can weep, when you can identify with the little ones, when you can make peace, when you can be persecuted and still be joyful . . . then you’re doing it right. -- Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation," February 9, 2018
Morning blinding flash of the obvious: Circumstances in our lives may distract us; follow not the distractions nor be dismayed by those circumstances for they are God's leading strings.
The hardest thing we will ever need do in life is to become willing to change our mind. That willingness is the first crack in our ego's rigid, righteous and right hold on us. It lays the first brick in the building of our unselfed foundation.
There are a lifetime of such bricks to come no matter the length of our natural life. And when we can weep, when we can identify with the little ones, when we can make peace, when we can be persecuted and still be joyful...then we can shout our Hallelujahs for we know we're doing it right.
