We have been given so much freely in our spiritual journey. Now, it is our responsibility to give back selflessly. Through our spiritual awakening and the principles learned from these steps, we understand that sharing this message and serving others is essential. Unless people are encouraged to help others from the start, they tend to become self-centered. True spiritual growth demands we look outward and support others' healing. This isn't optional or something to consider later; it is fundamental. Only by giving away our spiritual gifts do we truly understand them. Faith without good works is empty. Let's carry the world's suffering in our hearts and transform it through service.
May we freely give the spiritual gifts we have received,
transforming our faith into action and carrying
the world's suffering in our hearts with selfless service.
(inspired Richard Rohr, Breathing under Water; James Finley, Exploring the Contemplative Dimensions of Healing Trauma)
Yes indeed....VERY fundamental !!! Thank you cheers, Ida
