To participate in the reign of God, we have to stop counting. We have to stop hoarding in order to let the flow of forgiveness and love flow through us. -- Fr Richard's Daily Meditations, February 6, 2024
Here's a new thought on the February 6 entry: To participate in the reign of God, we have to stop resisting...to let the flow of forgiveness and love flow through us.
To arrive at a doable life of nonresistance requires a boatload of resistance...we are, after all, detaching from reliance solely on our reasoning mind, the home of our will. That is a slow, steady peeling back of our resistance...till we get a tiny little yes.
Seeking to detach from our will, our self-determined objective, is seeking within to find the pearl beyond price, God's will.
We are finding that true detachment from our will requires but one thing...that we change our mind. That we are incapable of by our unaided will...our aid coming from the Power greater than self.
We're reasonably good with when wrong promptly admit it, but the toughie is when right promptly forget it. We are learning, inch by cautious inch, that there is no right, no wrong...there is only Is.
Acceptance of what is right now...only reachable right now, only reachable by thank you, only reachable coming from our heart, not our head. Ah, the pearl beyond price...never reachable only realized, as needed, Now.
Thank you.
