Let’s make soup! Begin with a hearty base, the broth of consistent personal prayer. Next, add meat and veggies, the rituals of our religious traditions which become tender once they have had time to marinate. Then, add the seasoning of spontaneous expressions of praise and thanksgiving throughout the day, enhancing the flavor of all of the ingredients. Finally, and most importantly, share this stew with other people! May our commitment to living a spiritual life, indeed, allow our souls to be a warm and nourishing pot of soup capable of feeding any stranger we meet along the way.
Ave Crux, Spes Unica.
