Jesus Wants Us Free: freedom from AND freedom for
… freedom is to be found in the inner dialogue with God in conscience. If a (person) does not know how to talk with God, does not know how to listen to God in (her)his own conscience, then (she)he is not free. Pope Francis
face to face
Rubin’s Vase refuses
to choose this or that
narrow waisted double nosed
divine indwelling is composed
of wonder and uncertainty
reverence and curiosity
disowning life inside a box
dispossessing orthodox
freedom welcomes paradox
one-on-one with reality
shake hands with ambiguity
freedom from insecurity
disease excess authority
is freedom for subtlety
face to face
Rubin’s Vase refuses
to choose this or that

Pope Francis, SJ’s quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney is a series of daily reflections from the Spiritual Wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Throughout the book we hear the voices of St. Ignatius as well as many great thinkers and writers, long gone and present day, each uniquely revealing the way of finding God in all things. And that is my intention; to find God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality in whatever presents itself to me each day in 2024.
Each day I read, reflect and write on the selection, hoping to articulate the ways in which I come to know God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality via personal experience, impelled by the leading of my inner life.
