All that owned them, all that possessed their minds and hearts, their attachments and compulsions, must be healed and reconciled. Desert ascetics called this process of moving toward inner freedom detachment. -- Laura Swan in Fr Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation, April 25, 2023
Lessons we learn from the process of detachment from the valid hurts of our lives determine the core of our life as we live it...as a child, a teen, an adult, an elder. The spiritual news is the valid hurts are not our core, it is the divine spark within detaching us from those hurts that is our core.
It is that divine spark that opens our eyes, and we see we have been awakened to the sacred mystery: The hurts, the pain, bring healing...from within.
Pray not to have the unwanted removed, pray thank you for the divine spark that allows us to see the unwanted as another sliver of God's gold. Another blessing in disguise.
God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform.
Thank you.
