I sincerely think Francis found a Third Way, which is the creative and courageous role of a prophet and a mystic. He basically repeated what all prophets say: that the message and the medium for the message have to be the same thing. -- Fr Richard Rohr Daily Meditation, September 29. 2025
If we're not living and breathing what we're saying, we are still in the material mind, no matter how advanced spiritually we feel.
Slowly dawns the light: We each grow at the God of our understanding's pace for us.
Ego will always urge faster, deeper, better...but the priceless lesson we are always learning is that ego's voice takes a backseat to God's. It talks louder, but that's ego's job...all talk with little to show for it.
A recent experience I had exemplifies the learning lessons of God: In a phone conversation, a friend and I came to differing ideas...long/short: She hung up on me. I did not realize that and kept talking...until I realized it.
The Gift: I took it as nada...in short, as spiritual work takes hold, we take less and less personally. Bottomline: neither of us flinched, and we haven't needed to "talk it over" for it to be over.
Guaranteed, that is not material mind, but better than anything, it proves God's mind can and does work for our benefit with and/or without our knowledge or consent.
Question answered...why thank You is the only prayer we will ever need to pray.
Thank you.
