The Central Place

So much of what is happening in our national setting is not about liberation of the human spirit, but rather constriction. Without a sense of  common good, we turn into a nation of marauders, grabbing what we can, leaving desperation and despair in our wake.  Let us not succumb to this ploy.  Fortunately, our human journey continues, and there is more to be revealed.  God is not done with us yet, and if we do not give up, love will prevail.      

"Past experience and future evolution are in harmony when the present moment of God, entered into prayer, is given central place; and the monastic life, like the whole Christian life, is not about restricting but liberating the potential of each human being."
