Building on the theme in yesterday’s gospel reflection of self-emptying as a path to fullness, this week’s quotes are from Cynthia Bourgeault in her book, The Wisdom Jesus: Transforming Heart and Mind—a New Perspective on Christ and His Message.

“[Jesus] asked those timeless and deeply personal questions: What does it mean to die before you die? How do you go about losing your little life to find the bigger one? Is it possible to live on this planet with a generosity, abundance, fearlessness, and beauty that mirror Divine Being itself?”

-Cynthia Bourgeault, The Wisdom Jesus
