Meditations on the Little Way: Part 3, “My Vocation is Love”
.. Jesus does not demand great actions from us but simply surrender and gratitude.
.. It is a heroic path toward sainthood–the “democratization of holiness” as Thomas Merton called it–that everyone can travel.
.. Without becoming discouraged, I continued my reading, and this sentence consoled me: “Yet strive after THE BETTER GIFTS, and I point out to you a yet more excellent way.” And the Apostle explains how all the most PERFECT gifts are nothing without LOVE. That Charity is the EXCELLENT WAY that leads most surely to God.
At last, she had found her vocation. The key to the Little Way. What part of the body would she be?
She would be the heart.
