May 31, 2015

The Holy Spirit – or, if you prefer, the Human Spirit – entrusts each of us with amazing powers.
That spirit entrusts us with judgment as to what is good and what is evil - despite the fact that wars are fought, and many, many people are killed, maimed or displaced, because of differing judgments as to what is good and what is evil.
That spirit entrust us with deciding what, if anything, to do now to foster good in the world.
That spirit entrusts us with the power to rationalize our decisions.
Today I am reminded that the best I can do seems to be to ask often, “What of God – or what of goodness – can I bring to this moment?”
