It is tempting to think that if only God would grant us some internal favors,
we’d be able to withstand external challenges
St. Teresa of Avila
Anyone else?
I fall into the ‘trap’ of our transfiguration being the spiritual
home that is our eternal safe house. I fall into the ‘trap’ that if
we find an everlasting Shalom within, that we might see
Eden — OUT THERE. Are you seeing Eden? Nirvana, Shambala…
Glimpses. For sure. Lord I am thankful for every sweet glimpse and will try not to be too distracted.
I am more + more glad when my friend’s virtues are celebrated. My selfishness is decreasing bit by bit. I am more and more focused on the face of Christ- who is the dweller on the threshold of my heart.
