These are truly edifying prose, as always, Sister.

God has blessed you with a gift, to bring seemingly disparate ideas together and to shine a fresh perspective on them as well, to all of our mutual benefit. Or, at least we can pray for this to occur… ; )

Glory be to God…!

"We have been conditioned to believe that we are the primary means of our own salvation. Everything in our world leads us squarely back to ourselves. Although the delusional ambition that such a misleading mindset generates, masks our deep-seated doubt that we can save ourselves, the anxiety that undergirds our me-centered existence, pierces through, regardless, in ways that are unexpected, and, frequently, impossible to control."
