Key quotes from today’s meditation are below:
Preoccupation with the defense of our rights continually distracts us from our ideal of union with God, deprives us of interior peace, and finally, involves us in so many worldly cares that it will often be an occassion of failing in charity and even in justice toward our neighbor. For it is very difficult, if not impossible, to keep up the defense of our own rights without more or less injuring the rights of others.
To find out if we are really detached from sensitiveness about honor, we should not rely on the desires which some- times come to us during prayer and make us think that we are ready to bear any kind of humiliation or scorn. Instead we must find out what our attitude is at the critical moment when something wounds our pride. Then it will be easy to see that “ we refuse to be thwarted over the very smallest matter of precedence: apparently such a thing is quite intolerable”
St. Teresa of Jesus declares, “ However slight may be our concern for our reputation,” if we “ wish to make progress in spiritual matters, ” we must “ put this attachment right behind us,” for “if questions of honor” prevail, we “will never make great progress or come to enjoy the real fruit of prayer,” which is intimacy with God.
