We absolutely need conflicts, moral failures, defeats to our grandiosity, even seeming enemies. These are necessary mirrors, or we will have no way to ever spot our shadow self. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, November 24, 2021
These "necessary mirrors" are the very "defects of character" that we pray will be lifted out of us.
God's answered prayer changes us not the conflict we perceive but the conflict within us. Resistance to the enemy is resistance to our own self.
Love, hate, fear...love of hate and fear...transformed for the glory of Self, accepted. This then is self-acceptance transmuted into acceptance of Self...Love and Laughter.
Thank you.
