INSPIRATION
Called to Contemplation.

Called to Contemplation.
(taken from a book of “The Dart of Longing Love”, 1983, page 1)
Look up, you feckless creature, and take a good look at yourself!
What are you, and what have you done to deserve to be called in this way by our Lord?
How tired and wretched the heart, and sunken deep in laziness,
which will not be awakened by the drawing of this love and the voice of this calling!
Be warned, you miserable man,
lest you consider yourself to be more holy or virtuous on account of your high calling and the singular nature of your life.
You are but the more pitiable if you fail to avail yourself of counsel and grace to live in godliness according to your vocation.
Your spiritual spouse, that is Almighty God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, humbles himself for you.
Can you do less for him?
Out of all his followers, he most graciously chooses you to be one of his special disciples.
