By letting go of our need to judge others, we can find true freedom. ❤️ Enjoy Henri’s full meditation on this...
•
“We spend an enormous amount of energy making up our minds about other people. Not a day goes by without somebody doing or saying something that evokes in us the need to form an opinion about him or her. We hear a lot, see a lot, and know a lot. The feeling that we have to sort it all out in our minds and make judgments about it can be quite oppressive. The desert fathers said that judging others is a heavy burden, while being judged by others is a light one. Once we can let go of our need to judge others, we will experience an immense inner freedom. Once we are free from judging, we will be also free for mercy. Let’s remember Jesus’ words: “Do not judge, and you will not be judged” (Matthew 7:1).”
Such important words to live by♥️
God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ,
and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:19

Lord...
Wherever your plans for me this day,
help me follow your Spirit's lead...
Whatever you call me to do today,
I pray for the strength to do it...
Whatever you prompt me to say this day,
give me wisdom to speak the truth...
Should you take me to task for failing in love,
give me grace, today, to change my ways...
If you ask me today to forgive my neighbor,
help me to do so, freely and fully...
Whomever you ask me to help today,
may I touch with gentle compassion...
When you call me to pause and pray this day
may I come to you, Lord, with an open heart...
Wherever, however, whenever today
you choose to move in my life, O Lord:
open me up to your presence and power
to your mercy, your grace and your peace...
Amen.
-Fr. Fleming

To pray is to listen to [God’s] voice of love. That is what obedience is all about. The word obedience comes from the Latin word ob-audire, which means “to listen with great attentiveness.”
If we could just be, for a few minutes each day, fully where we are, we would indeed discover that we are not alone and that the One who is with us wants only one thing: to give us love. - Henri Nouwen
You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.
Now I know that God is with me.
Psalm 56:8-9

Our lives of work, our everyday agenda, and our normal anxieties, are to be regularly punctuated by a time in which we lay down the hammer, lay down our agenda, lay down our workday worries and simply sit, rest, enjoy, soak-in, luxuriate, contemplate, pray, and let things take care of themselves for a while. That’s the biblical formula for health: spiritual, human, psychic, and bodily.
