"It is true there is an ebb and flow, but the sea remains the sea.’ You are the sea. Although I experience many ups and downs in my emotions and often feel great shifts and changes in my inner life, you remain the same."
Vincent Van Gogh

Thoughts on good intentions
Remembering Our Good Intentions
From: Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life
Our heart might desire to help others: to feed the hungry, visit the prisoners and offer a shelter to travelers; but meanwhile, we have surrounded ourselves with a wall of fear and hostile feelings, instinctively avoiding people and places where we might be reminded of our good intentions.
Reflection Question: What good intentions do you need to act on today?
“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world.”
