Three days ago, Father John Rolheiser wrote an essay called When Are We Home? As he often does, he applied a microscope to the great mystery of home. He begins by observing—
… Home is a place in the heart, not a bloodline, building, city, or ethnicity. Home is that deep, fragile place inside us where we hold and guard what’s most precious to us. It’s that place where, in some dark way, we remember that once, before we came to awareness, we were caressed by hands far gentler than any we’ve met in this life…
From that, Rolheiser kindly examines home’s role in courtship, marriage, and the spiritual schizophrenia that grips people when they “go outside” of that sacred space called “home.”
This was certainly the best thing I saw or heard this week. Please take 3 minutes to read this warm and evocative aroma of home. To read it, just go here.
