…there is a kind of recognition, an opening of our understanding or the opening of the eye of the heart, which happens in the Spirit only. And this then gives us a new perspective over the whole of this journey. It’s here that we begin to live the Beatitudes. And the important thing is to see this as all part of one process. It’s an open-ended process. We don’t know where we come from, but we can identify the starting point and all of this is connected. We need to sense that all aspects of our history, of our experience, are part of the same story, even the bits that don’t make any sense or the meaningless parts.
