Wise Words on Wednesay: The Battlefield

Battlefield

“Our Lord suggests that the Christian life is a battlefield. Only the squeamish and the cowardly return untouched and ‘whole’ from battle. If I find nothing in myself to discipline, it is because I suffer from an adolescent insecurity that wants nothing changed, and because I have installed myself in the illusion that everything about me is already perfect. Or I do not believe in anything worth defending, worth fighting for, more precious than my body and my ego in their splendid isolation. I clutch at the integrity and sovereignty of my body and ego as the ultimate treasure, little realizing that this body of ours has been given to us to engage it in adventure, in odysseys, in warfare, in heroic deeds for the common good.“
