Feelings

If we are without human feelings we cannot love God in the way in which we are meant to love Him - as men.
If we do not respond to human affection we cannot be loved by God in the way in which He has willed to love us - with the Heart of the Man, Jesus Who is God, the Son of God, and the anointed Christ.
-- Thomas Merton. Thoughts in Solitude. p.13

It would be absurd to suppose that because emotion sometimes interferes with reason, that it therefore has no place in the spiritual life.
-- Thomas Merton. Thoughts in Solitude. p.12

Throughout this week, pause, take a breath, and listen with your heart



We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.

Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise.
