Weekly Reflections written by Father Hendree
Read Father Hendreeβs Weekly Blog:
Jesus disrupts all my partisan inclinations. Allegiances born of partisanship are governed by emotional attachment which is why a great many people canβt talk about politics without getting upset.
I tried to gossip with Teresa of Avila as we walked down the path. This person we both know had done something really foolish, and I wanted to tell Teresa about it because I thought sheβd want to know. I donβt know why I thought that.
I told Thomas Kelly about my schedule as we walked along the path. I was proud and thought heβd be impressed. He said, βGosh, you must be really important. Or maybe youβre trying to prove something?
I told Etty Hillesum that I was upset about a change that had been made as we walked along the path. She laughed and said, βWho isnβt?β
I told John of the Cross about my desire for inner peace as we walked along the path. He said, βThe biggest obstacle to attaining inner peace is your desire for inner peace.β
