We know Him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone anymore. Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet, too, even with a crust, where there is companionship.” <br />― Dorothy Day, The Long Loneliness: The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist <br /><br />Happy advent to you. <br /><br />I was reading Dorothy Day this morning. You know, it was the anniversary of her death last week. <br /><br />Anyway... I do not think Dorothy would disagree with St Ambrose...and maybe sometimes we just do need to go to the woods and be alone with God for while. <br /><br />But.. it is possible to meet him.. quietly respectfully in one another...and our hunger for companionship- can also be a hunger for God...and somehow by loving each other, we love God too...<br /><br />Bless youcatherinenoreply@blogger.com
