Window To The Soul
2 December – The pastoral text of Fr Reuter is this: Our Lord was filled with compassion for the widow of Naim, whose only son was dead. When your heart is broken, Our Lord is filled with compassion for you. Apt image by MommaMia who captions it ‘A Broken Heart’ (flickr.com/). This gray window photo tells me a lot about emptiness and angst – and about perspective. It tells me that broken-heartedness is a choice: All 4 window panes are empty if you look out and decide to see nothing; all 4 window panes are full of life if you decide to look through them and appreciate the world for what it is – it is God-given; it is for you.
