Living Spiritual Rhythms - November 22

Encountering the infinite mystery of another human being is a sacramental invitation and a sacred adventure towards convergence.

This coming alongside or together phenomenon will take place at different levels of familiarity; it is never nothing or everything. That is, to be unaffected by or irredeemably lost in another is an expression of inappropriate selfhood. Unadulterated oneness is not desirable. We are always to be intensely touched by our engagements with the other, while remaining ourselves.
