It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. The Kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision.

REFLECTION

O Lord, remember not only the men and the women of goodwill, but also those of ill will. But do not remember only the suffering they have inflicted upon us. Remember the fruits we bought, thanks to this suffering: our comradeship; our loyalty; our humility; the courage; the generosity; the greatness of heart which has grown out of all this. And when they come to judgment, let all the fruits that we have borne be their forgiveness.  Amen.

Written on a piece of wrapping paper and found near the body of a dead child in Ravensbruck Concentration Camp, where 92,000 women and children died.

REFLECTION 

Our ordinary lives are given an extraordinary significance when we accept that our lives are about something larger…. I do not need to be the whole play or even understand the full script.  It is enough to know that I have been chosen to be one actor on the stage.  I need only play my part as well as I can.

Richard Rohr, Jesus’ Plan for a New World

REFLECTION 

Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion is to look out to the world.  Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which he is to bless us now.

Pentecost 2008 – Burn in Me Your Love

2008 Pentecost bulletin

REFLECTION 

I, the highest and fiery power                                                                                           
have kindled every living spark
and I have breathed out nothing that can die…
I am the fiery life of the divine essence…
I flame above the beauty of the fields:
I shine in the waters;
in the sun, the moon and the stars.
I burn.  And by the means of the airy wind,
I stir everything into quickness         
with certain invisible life which sustains all…

Hildegard of Bingen
