Oh blessed perseverance of the donkey that turns the water-wheel! Always the same pace. Always the same circles. One day after another: everyday the same. Without that, there would be no ripeness in the fruit, nor blossom in the orchard, nor scent of flowers in the garden. Carry this thought to your interior life.–The Way, 998
The Gospel reading of the Mass today Concerned the seed of faith that tosses trees Uprooted into waters far away. This is just one of the hyperboles Used by Our Lord to make us understand Detachment and belief go hand in hand.
