Formation Notes 10 - Humility

Nov 29, 2011 18:25

It is time for another set! Only two more to go after this. I will be sad to see the end of them - it is so wonderfully invigorating to have something to ponder like this.  But alas, I cannot remain a novice forever.

Thank you, dear nun_sense. This set was quite a challenge to write. It was tricky to try to synthesise my thoughts with St Francis' considering that I find his terminology on the subject a bit alientating for me. But, as always, I found writing my response rewarding and feel like I understand where Francis was coming from just a little bit more. And where I'm coming from too. Your words of encouragement warm my soul.

I like it when people understand living life in love like you do. It encourages me when I am hit by a wave of despair for humanity. :)

Thank you, Dan. Yes, those waves of despair for humanity... It can look pretty bleak sometimes, can't it? I guess we just have to try to shine all the brighter at those times. I appreciate your reading this and sharing this thought with me. <3
