“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
I wonder what the scribes and pharisees of Eugene’s times would have thought if they heard Eugene talking to the poorest of the poor and saying that they were sharers in divine nature? Scandalous, unbelievable and worse.
Some 2,000 years after the birth of Jesus those still walk among us: judging, condemning and excluding others. They are not just teachers and clerics, members of the Church hierarchy for we find them playing the same game as they walk among all the people of God pretending to be wiser and holier than all others, with only their ‘way of being and living’ as being righteous.
I think of how we are all called to walk as pilgrims, together… to pick up our matts, too enlarge the space of our tents, with none being better or greater than the other… allowing ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit…
Whose voice am I listening to, is it yours O God, or simply my own? Lord, have mercy on me a sinner, and fill me with your spirit.
