Humility is the hallmark spiritual virtue of letting go.
We are wildly imperfect, yet fully made in God’s image. And God desires us to be well, to love ourselves enough to be well
The word love is used to describe so many different things that matter—sports teams, people, chocolate, books, etc. Mother Teresa was an evangelist for the proper use of the word love when she said: “Wherever God has put you, that is your vocation. It is not what we do but how much love we put into it.”
This is what Jesus desires to invite us into: a contentment that is not dependent on who we are but on who he is.
Physicians and medical scientists speak about the “faith factor” in health or illness. When we trust God, our inner resources are enlivened and change our lives.
Prayer cannot be judged on the basis of “highs” or “feel-good” experiences.
Starting over is part of life but that doesn’t make it easy! It takes grit to rebuild what has crumbled.
How do we center ourselves in the love of God? Clare’s answer is simple and disarming: Become poor.
Faith is not a feeling—it’s a steady trust in a God we cannot always see, but who is always faithful.
