Goodpeople, I came across these words this morning from the late Benedictine contemplative Macrina Wiederkehr. Such simple profundity. Each line invites prayerful pondering. ~djm

Today’s life-Line is:

All too often we bemoan our imperfections rather than embrace them as part of the process in which we are brought to God. Cherished emptiness gives God space in which to work. We are pure capacity for God. Let us not, then, take our littleness lightly. It is a wonderful grace. It is a gift to receive. At the same time, let us not get trapped in the confines of our littleness, but keep pushing on to claim our greatness. Remind yourself often, “I am pure capacity for God; I can be more.”

~ Macrina Wiederkehr, O.S.B., A Tree Full of Angels: Seeing the Holy in the Ordinary

PRAYER MANTRA: I am pure capacity for God.

“Let us build one another up to love and good works.”
(Hebrews 10:24)
