Luminous is the word of Truth; like
a laser beam, it cuts through
ignorance and illusion.
Lives filled with lies lead to pain
and suffering;
the face reveals but a mask
hiding shame and deception.
About face! Listen and know!
Blessed are those who choose the Truth.
The path is made straight,
the spirit freed to soar.
~ from LUMEN CHRISTI ... HOLY WISDOM by Nan Merrilla
Our homes will be very quiet at this time. But I have often found that the quieter my surroundings, the more vividly I sense my connection with you all. It's as if, in solitude, the soul develops organs of which we're hardly aware in everyday life.
