Interpreting the Present Time
Alistair shares from Luke 12:49-56.

“The pitfall of the religion of perfection is self-righteousness, that cancer of the soul that requires more of others than it demands of itself and so erodes its own fibre even more. It is an inner blindness that counts the sins of others but has no eye for itself. . . .
(On the other hand) Real contemplatives receive the other with the open arms of God because they have come to know that for all their emptiness God has received them.”
Joan Chittister, Illuminated Life: Monastic Wisdom for Seekers of Light (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 2000)
