UMM Reflections 2011 Apr 17

 

Two universal and prime paths of transformation have always been available to every human being God has created: great love and great suffering. Only love and suffering are strong enough to break down our usual ego defenses, crush our dual thinking, and open us up to Mystery. In my experience they, like nothing else, exude the mysterious chemistry that can transmute us from a fear-based life into a love-based life.

No surprise that the Christian icon of redemption is a man offering love from a crucified position.

 

 

(Richard Rohr, 2009)


– What life experiences have really changed you? Your essence? Your path?
