This week I'm going to share some of Richard Rohr's book Immortal Diamond. Here is today's thought:
"We are made for transcendence and endless horizons but our small ego usually gets in the way until we become aware of its petty preoccupations and eventually seek a deeper truth. It is like mining for a diamond. "
The season of Lent, with its emphasis on spiritual discipline, invites us to look at the huge impact our "small ego" has upon our lives, our relationships, our thoughts and actions. And, it encourages us to see ourselves from the vantage point of God, that is, being made in God's image. This was the essence of Jesus' message. How do we examine our egos, increase our self awareness and seek a deeper truth?
This is the role of prayer and meditation in our lives. Take some time for these today.
Wait and see.
