Love, not knowledge, allowed Francis to enter into the great mystery we call 'God.' -- Ilia Delio
We cannot get to God by thinking of ways to get to God...or, we cannot get to God by thinking...period.
Yes, but...there always seems to be a "yes, but"...we must respect thinking. It is the gold, the glory, the mud and the sludge that paves the road we must travel to be opened to "the great mystery we call 'God.'"
There are times when wondrous words, thoughts, actions flow from us, and we feel humbled for we are very aware that we have just been gifted with a pearl.
Learning to say thank you to all that comes to us, no matter the appearance, is the essence of gratitude...of God.
Just as God's will, God's way, originally seemed to our reasoning mind to be the reverse of our perceived need, whatever comes today is wrapped in gratitude, and we question not.
Most important is the discovery that seeking more is of self, seeking less comes down to seeking for the benefit of others where, in the end, all sides benefit.
Thank you.
