I am so moved by the Eucharistic readings for today for they all speak pointedly and profoundly to my current difficulties.

Do click through and read them all if you have a little time. They are quite short and will only take you a few minutes.

There is one line from the Epistle reading that penetrates even more that the others:

Consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart.

- From Hebrews 12

And here's something else that gives me consolation today:

Solitude does not necessarily mean living apart from others; rather, it means never living apart from one’s self.

-- Parker Palmer from A Hidden Wholeness
