TRUST...WE MUST GO BEYOND REASON

.... the mind of Christ still inhabits the world. -- Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditations," January 23, 2026

Well, here's a comfort: I don't know, and I don't know what I don't know. 

That is the best I can do in trying to figure out where I am in my own still more spiritual growth. Ah, but the best I can do turns me to the mind of Christ, God's mind, my realized sufficiency.

I rather suspect (hope?) that's pretty much where all seekers stand. Face it, we wouldn't be seekers if we already knew The Answer. Not to get too deep into the weeds.

I take comfort in looking back where the answer to my yesterday's puzzlement is found...i.e., released. Released is when we find no self-enlightening answer, so we stop trying to "figure it out." We accept and voila it is now God's gift.

Blinding flash of the obvious: God's gift rarely comes looking like our answered prayer. 

To the reasoning mind, it's more like an unanswered prayer.

Yet, how else do we build trust? Trust, that which we have been building...or attempting to be building...all along.

We go beyond reason to God.

Thank you.
