Radical unity with God and neighbor is the only way any of us truly heals or improves. -- Fr Richard Rohr, 'Daily Meditations,'' March 2, 2026
Give over, give up, give in. There...the blinding flash of the obvious that came to me some years back.
I have been open to learning how to do that (to give, only give) ever since. By open, I do not mean I have actually achieved it. I mean I have been gifted on occasion, and I remain willing to continue to try for it.
I know I cannot, of myself, do that, give only give, but that we can. With God as our guide and goal, we can and do practice giving. "All" that is required of us is that we be willing to try.
God's gift of insight: We are not in it to win it; we are in it to give it. Ah, we can only give what we have earned with God as our teacher, leader, guide and goal.
The underlying wonderment: We have given over, given up, given in on occasion...and not realized it until sometime later. It cannot be a self-determined objective; it is God's gift plain and simple.
We "win" when our reasoning mind is into regrets, and we realize spiritual peace...both at the same time. There: radical unity.
Thank you.
