Spiritual reorientation
often leads to upheaval in the psyche and in personal life.
Relationships may not be able to remain the same….
We may be led into situations
that painfully stimulate new capacities
or demand digging deep to cultivate new virtues
like patience or courage….
Through it all, the spirit is at work.
– Robert C. Morris

Forgiveness
is the name of love
practiced among people
who love poorly.
The hard truth
is that all people love poorly.
We need to forgive and be forgiven every day,
every hour unceasingly.
That is the great work of love
among the fellowship of the weak
that is the human family.
– Henri J. M. Nouwen

How to Recognize Grace
by Marilyn Chandler McEntyre
It takes you by surprise
It comes in odd packages
It sometimes looks like loss
Or mistakes
It acts like rain
Or like a seed
It’s both reliable and unpredictable
It’s not what you were aiming at
Or what you thought you deserved
It supplies what you need
Not necessarily what you want
It grows you up
And lets you be a child
It reminds you you’re not in control
And that not being in control
is a form of freedom

Rest on the flight to Egypt - Claude Lorrain, 1644
Come to me,
all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28

Beauty does not linger, it only visits.
Yet beauty’s visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm,
it calls us to feel, think, and act beautifully in the world:
to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful.
– John O’Donohue

Gold bugs, yellow butterflies, orange lilies.
What to do with this great fragrant glow?
Well, hold on to it.
You’ll want it in the days to come.

God can do everything
and I can do nothing.
But if I offer this nothing
in prayer to God,
everything becomes possible
in me.
