  1. Quote of the day, 28 October: Jessica Powers

    The saints and mystics
    had a name
    for that deep
    inwardness of flame,
    the height or depth
    or ground or goal
    Which is God’s dwelling
    in the soul.

    Not capax Dei
    do you say;
    nor yet
    scintilla animae
    nor synderesis
    all are fair—
    but heaven,
    because God is there.

    All day and when
    you wake at night
    think of that place
    of living light,
    yours and within you
    and aglow
    where only God
    and you can go.

    None can assail you
    in that place
    save your own evil,
    routing grace.
    Not even angels
    see or hear,
    nor the dark spirits
    prowling near.

    But there are days
    when watching eyes
    could guess that you
    hold Paradise.
    Sometimes the shining
    overflows
    and everyone
    around you knows.

    Sister Miriam of the Holy Spirit, OCD (Jessica Powers)

    For a Child of God (1953)

  2. Richard Rogers, English Puritan, writes on Christian duty. We manifest Christ’s love to neighbor by pitying their miseries, as Christ did. The neighbor’s greater calamity should speed our aid make us ease their pain as much as is possible in us.

    Today, the greater the calamity, we’re told, the greater the need to wash hands, not to reinforce bad choices, and to wall the sufferer off from us.

    How can you manifest Christ’s love?

  6. When we look in the mirror, it's crucial to assess not just our good deeds but also our shortcomings. This reflective journey helps us understand our true selves and prepares us for meaningful connections, including our relationship with God. Let's explore this together. #SelfReflection #InnerTruth #PersonalGrowth #FaithJourney #MirrorTalk #HonestyWithSelf #SelfAwareness #ChildOfGod #SpiritualGrowth #MeaningfulConnections

  7. John Calvin, early Calvinistic theologian, on Isaiah 58. God chooses a devotion that involves bewailing the distresses of others. If you sear your heart against caring, your devotion is but to yourself. There is no love of God in you.

    In modern religiosity, aren’t we trained to find excuses as to why any humanitarian abuse is just desserts for the sufferers?

    How can you consider the poverty of others as if you yourself endured it?
