Playing My Part – Quote of the Week by Richard Rohr

November 9, 2013 By Jean Wise

Our ordinary lives are given an extraordinary significance when we accept that our lives are about something much larger, our pain is a participation in the redemptive suffering of God, our creativity is the very passion of God for the world.
No longer do we need to self-validate, self-congratulate or self-doubt–our place in the cosmos is assured.
I do not need to be the whole play or even understand the full script.
It is enough to know that I have been chosen to be one actor on the stage. I need only play my part as well as I can.

Richard Rohr

    Dear sweet Jean
    This is such common sense! We are not all the same part of Jesus’ body. Let us listen with love to others and our Lord when we are an ears, serve when we are a hand, etc. I think you get my drift. Then our lives will all be a part of our Lord’s beautiful dance of being, every one do us complementing the other, all to the glory of our Pappa!
    Blessings XX
