The freedom to fall is also the freedom to rise. It’s precisely in our failure, our experience of poverty, weakness, emptiness that we come to experience God’s restoration and healing love. … Salvation is sin overturned and outdone much more than sin perfectly and always avoided.

Trinity Prayer

God for us, we call You Father,
God alongside us, we call You Jesus,
God within us, we call You Holy Spirit.

You are the Eternal Mystery
that enables, enfolds, and enlivens all things,
even us,  and even me.

Every name falls short of your
Goodness and Greatness.

We can only see who You are in what
is.
We ask for such perfect seeing.

As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be.

Amen

— Richard Rohr

God comes to you disguised as your life.
