Quoted by@leashless Great, as always, to hear your voice, Vinay. Given that you appear, as I, to have renounced renunciation itself along the everyday way ('Before enlightenment, laundry. After enlightenment, laundry.') don't you find what we now do between washer loads involves a freer perspective?Quoted by@hollyhopeaz @RichardRohrOFM @brianmclaren Later, I got to Fr. Richard's mention of 'a unity in the works of service', which generously describes my experience of the 'logarithmic' way sharing together palpably uplifts those we serve together. Sincere, heartfelt, common care truly touches and changes others, too, I find.Quoted by@CarlMcColman When, together, we find an object worthy of service, God finds ground as a single Body fulfilled in the emptiness carved out through common sacrifice. The supernatural power of shared service? A fulcrum of giving and receiving co-creating a concrete, transcendent social reality.Quoted by@SophiaCycles
