Releasing the inner Wise One … (03/02/14)
The true Wise One is not the man who searches for the particular message that he wants or expects to hear, nor is the true Saint the woman who follows the will of the coddling & commonplace god of the masses. No, the Wise One within us all — the silent Saint in waiting, is the Soul that remains calm & empty … without preconception or fore-knowledge; without a popular dogma or a faith set in stone. He never knows what words will suddenly awaken him to a new depth of Knowing; she never knows what new opportunities await her ability to Care.
These are the ones who live fully from moment-to-moment; active in their time with others, while always watching for the Word of God.
And when that Word decides to make itself known, they are ready to hear it … and they are ready to act.
(inspired by Thomas Merton)
