THE POWER OF POWERLESSNESS

This is how Jesus is the “Savior of the World.” He does it by choosing a minority position, entering Jerusalem on a donkey....his proclamation of the power of powerlessness, is the message that will save the world from self-destruction and for an eternal truth. --  Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, January 1, 2025

From our post of January 1: Our marching orders: Work with the Father within, and let it be so.

To work with the Father within ain't no walk in the park...reasoning mind will ever assert itself. To let it be so is another hidden hook...that may be the harder order actually. Our hands may be idle, but our mind? Oh, mercy. 

This is one of the earliest/hardest lessons of meditation...training our mind to sit in the silence and that is all. The Father within can, will and does do the rest, or so I am told...actually, I have experienced that Light but not enough, never enough. 

I am grateful from my toes to my nose that I have received a gift to be grateful for no matter the weight...the smaller the nugget, the greater the gift I tell me and remember the might of a minority position, love and laughter. Ah, there's our proof, love and laughter.

No matter the appearance of our burden, God's gift, love and laughter, lifts us up by lightening us up. 

Thank you.
