I thank you Father for hiding these things from the learned and the clever, and revealing them to mere children. (Lk 10:21, Mt 11:25)
To the simple. And that’s what we become like in meditation, simple. All our knowledge, all the books we’ve read, is very unimportant in a sense, when we come to meditate. Of course it’s important, but it’s not important when we meditate. All that matters when we meditate is that we know who we are, that we are uniquely loved by God, as we are, with all our faults and failings. And this is why holiness is the source of true happiness.
