We seek to love and to be loved...until we learn what that entails (and how we "entail" it), it's pretty, but, in truth, just another want gone wanting.
Stripped down naked, to love and to be loved means to resist not...acceptance in a word. To accept with ease the life we invite in, the diamonds and rust, the glory and the gore, is God-guided, is love.
We humans, being we humans, must go through the process of self-willing...driving our own bus...until we crash and burn. Trying to do good, be forgiving, love the personally unlovable is an exercise in humility...which we don't get to appreciate until after we've experienced failure and the feeling of humiliation, which is simply humility a-borning, according to me.
Is there anything more expensive than humility? Who's kidding whom...we do not have the "coin of the realm." Which puts the period to it: Humility is of God...go to God and be peaced, or Oned.
To quote Fr Richard...again...We don't get to God by doing it right, we get to God by doing it wrong.
Thank you.
