Day 21 - March 28, 2014

Quote

"The Christ we seek is within us, in our inmost self, is our inmost self, and yet infinitely transcends ourselves. This is the very root of our being. Therefore, what we are called to do is to live as habitually and constantly as possible with great simplicity on this level of love which proceeds from the depths of our own being where Christ reigns and loves. This is a dimension of love which no one can take away unless we close the door ourselves and no one can bring it in unless we open the door to Christ, opening our hearts to Christ dwelling there."

Scripture

"I am the gate."       John 10:9a

Prayer

Risen Christ,

you came through the locked doors

of the fearful disciples' house.

Come through the locked doors

of my inner dwelling place.

Bring your enveloping peace

to where I am most in need of it.

I open the door of my heart to you.
