Better than none, equal to all in need of God’s grace, and depending on God’s gifts for life itself, Francis and Clare found God in the least of these. -- Fr Richard's Daily Meditation, September 7, 2023
I cannot pinpoint when my search began for small, little, less, least...but it did begin and wholly unselfed. I do not recall being aware of such a life-altering change, but looking back I realize I was awakened to the radical change of my mind.
The "radical change of my mind" is the best part of my education for that means, not by self, by Self.
Seeking still more spiritual growth, studying spiritual material, thinking with an upgraded attitude all open the door for the Spirit to flow out from within. Repeating the Father lives within when we barely grasp the concept is the Way.
We do not get to God by reason, but the material mind does not give over, give up, give in without resisting every inch of the way. The brick wall is our want, masquerading as a need, to make sense of everything.
All the while we are unknowingly growing deeper in spiritual awareness. Our trust in God is faith aborning...and faith is reaping changes in our life. Plain speak...it does not take knowledge, it takes faith for our eyeballs to see, then to send to our brain to know, then to send to our gut to accept that a kick in the pants is a pearl beyond price.
God’s love for the world is expressed in solidarity with the least…. -- Ibid.
Thank you.
