Only after God has taught us how to live “undefended” can we immediately stand with and for others, and for the moment. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, October 10, 2022
Whoa. To live undefended is God's will for us? God's goal in fact?
On reflection, that is not new news...we are learning that from the git-go...what else is resist not evil? Ah, but having it enter my eyes at 5:00 AM...undefended so to speak...now that's a wake-up call.
This period of transformation or transition or just growing up that I am going through...calling it "initiation" and hoping that it is not just me putting on airs...is filled with doubtful exhilaration. Meaning my ego will drag foot every step of the way until the Spirit lifts me up deeper, and I am peaced.
I am peaced when I can love it and laugh...and see me yet again taking myself too seriously. There. My foundational character defect proving herself as my angel in disguise...still, yet, again. Thank you, precious angel.
All things work together for our good. Whether we know it or not.
Thank you.
