                                   I Corinthians 13:12,13 

    

    now 

    we 

    see 

    in a  

    mirror, 

    dimly, 

    but 

    then 

    we 

    shall 

    see

    face

    to face. 

    Now I 

    know only 

    in part; then 

    I will know fully,

    even as I have been 

    fully known. And now,

    faith, hope, & love abide, 

           these three; and the 

    greatest of these 

    is love.  

                                 ***

                

                 *Teresa of Ávila 

      1515-1582

    Carmelite nun, 

reformer, author, mystic 

 and one of my favorite ladies! Her day is actually the 15th, but it was a Sunday so I transferred her today, bumping the English duo of bishops,

Hugh Latimer & Nicholas Ridley who also lived during the Reformation  

and whose collect prays that we may “live in your fear, die in your favor and rest in your peace.” And so, to quote their com-panion on the way

        
        

         "The 

         feeling 

         remains 

         that God is 

         on the journey, too.”
