Reflections of a Spiritual Life


Our religious life reflects our spiritual life.

When our spiritual life is sick, our religious life is full of fear, and our actions betray it.

We become judgmental, arrogant, intolerant. We condemn. We demonize. We exclude.

When our spiritual life is well, our religious life is patient and giving and kind.

We become compassionate, accepting, complete. We contemplate. We discern. We build community.
