I Was A Lousy Nun. I Couldn't

I Had Tried, As I Thought As A Nun, To Open Myself To God And God Seemed Totally Uninterested In Me. The Heavens Remained Closed And Opaque. I Now Realize, Of Course, That I Had A Very, Very Inadequate Idea Of God. I Was Expecting Clouds To Part, A Little Sort Of Whisper In My Ear, And Of Course, That's Not What God Is. God Is Not Another Being; We Are Talking About Something Much More Profound.

I Think I Get From My Books What Other People Get From Family Or A Relationship Or From Prayer.

I Used To Hate Religion, I Loathed It In My Angry Days.

Jesus Did Not Spend A Great Deal Of Time Discoursing About The Trinity Or Original Sin Or The Incarnation, Which Have Preoccupied Later Christians. He Went Around Doing Good And Being Compassionate.

You Are Your Best Self When You Give Yourself Away.
