GOD'S ADMIRATION
God's Admiration for us is infinitely greater
than anything we can conjure up
for Him.
St. Francis of Assisi
IN ALL THINGS
It was easy to love God in all that
was beautiful.
The lessons of deeper knowledge, though, instructed me
to embrace God in all
things.
St. Francis of Assisi
THE RESULT OF PRAYER
The result of prayer is life.
Prayer irrigates the
earth and
heart.
St. Francis of Assisi
I just read a lovely reflection today by Karl Rahner SJ on prayer and ritual irrigating the soul...
ReplyDeleteMichelle ... I tried to read the Rahner book you gave me, but I may have been too tired at the time. You speak often of him, I need to give it a second shot.
DeletePrayer is attention. Attention is love.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these.
Ruth ... yes indeedy
DeleteThese are truly lovely, moving poems. In a way, they feel as though they could be contemporary instead of centuries old. Thank you so very much for this post and the former posts with poems from St. Francis of Assisi.
ReplyDeleteMary ... thanks for visiting my blog. My wife and I share one reflection each night and on Monday I choose something to share here. Hopefully I will post one by Rumi this evening.
Deletethis looks like a really good book...
