greetings!
a long day...
please pray for my mom -- she is back in the hospital...
nouwen spoke to me this morning while i was eating grits at the waffle house: "your eyes, o Lord, see in one glance the inexhaustible love of God and the seemingly endless agony of all people who have lost faith in that love and are like sheep without a shepherd...your eyes are so severe yet so loving, so unmasking yet so protecting, so penetrating yet so carressing, so profound yet so intimate, so distant yet inviting...i gradually realize that i want to be seen by you, to dwell under your caring gaze, and to grow strong and gentle in your sight. Lord, let me see what you see -- the love of God and the suffering of people so that my eyes may become more and more like yours, eyes that can heal wounded hearts..."
what a gift of language...
shalom...

may we all sense the passion of the Christ on good friday...
