On this Christmas Day, let us be the voices—and arms—of compassion and grace and healing.
“Last night. Cold. I lay in bed realizing that I was, was happy. And I was that. Said the strange word ‘happiness’ and realized that it was there, not an ‘it’ or an object. It simply was. And I was that. And this morning, coming down, seeing the multitude of stars above the bare branches of the wood, I was suddenly hit, as it were, with the whole package of meaning of everything: that the immense mercy of God was upon me, that the Lord in infinite kindness had looked down on me and given me this vocation out of love, and that He had always intended this.” Thank you, Thomas Merton.
Peace and blessings to all, my friends. May we allow this infinite kindness to find a place in our hearts today. Sabbath Moments
