________Canticle 10__
…as rain +
snow fall
from the
heaven +...
water the
earth; Bring-
ing forth
seed for
sowing +
bread for
eating, so
is my word
that goes forth form my mouth; to will not return to me empty…
*Clare of Assisi, 1194-1253
founder of The
Poor Clares
We become
what we love
+ who we love
shapes what we become.
If we love things,
we become a thing.
If we love nothing,
we become nothing.
Imtation is not a…
mimicking of Christ,
rather it means becoming
the image of the beloved,
an image disclosed through transformation. This means we are to become vessels of
God's compassionate love for others.
