Weekend Blessing – Quote of the Week – John O’Donohue

February 23, 2013 By Jean Wise



Blessed be the longing that brought you here and that quickens your soul with wonder.


May you have the courage to befriend your eternal longing.


May you enjoy the critical and creative companionship of the question “Who am I?” and may it brighten your longing.


May a secret Providence guide your thought and shelter your feeling.


May your mind inhabit your life with the same sureness with which your body belongs to the world.


May the sense of something absent enlarge your life.


May your soul be as free as the ever-new waves of the sea.


May you succumb to the danger of growth.


May you live in the neighborhood of wonder.


May you belong to love with the wildness of Dance.


May you know that you are ever embraced in the kind circle of God.

John O’Donohue

    I really liked this quote and several phrases like the one you highlighted really stuck with me.

    Blessings on your week!

    “May the sense of something absent enlarge your life.”
    That is applicable in so many ways. First we are called into knowledge of Him by that emptiness, then we stretch into who He has called us to be in wanting to fill ourselves with more of Him. Blessings.

    He has such good blessings. I am looking at some to use in a retreat I am helping with in a few weeks.

    Hope you are feeling better and having a good weekend, Mia.
