Because we are all Monks and our place of work is a seminary, our work a sacrament, our family a monastery, our home a sanctuary; may we learn what they are teaching us without believing God is elsewhere...

The Kingdom Within
Photo: Google Images
“Every kind of thing will be well.”
the Lord said to Julian of Norwich
The blue vessel waits
Off shore these disquiet disorders
Once calmed and somewhat placed
A dock to step off
Into His boat of grace
Or rather
Into our boat
He gets in
Ebbing always toward deeper water of love
While silence wakes
On the surface ripples of the kingdom
Within.
The blue vessel waits.
"The kingdom of heaven is within you" says the Lord.
