A thought for the day

'We tend to manage life more than just live it. We are all overstimulated and drowning in options. We are trained to be managers, to organize life, to make things happen. This is what built our culture. It is not all bad, but if you transfer that to the spiritual life, it is pure heresy. It is wrong it doesn't work. It is not gospel.'

from Richard Rohr, Preparing for Christmas - Daily Meditations for Advent, Cincinatti, 2008, p. 31

If only bishops and others could realize this is what they try to do to the church
