"We live as spiritual men when we live as men seeking God.
If we are to become spiritual, we must remain men.
And if there were not evidence of this everywhere in theology,
the Mystery of the Incarnation itself would be ample proof of it.
Why did Christ become Man if not to save men by uniting them mystically with God
through His own Sacred Humanity?
Jesus lived the ordinary life of His time,
in order to sanctify the ordinary lives of men of all time.
If we want to be spiritual, then, let us first of all live our lives...
Let us embrace reality
and thus find ourselves immersed
in the life-giving will and wisdom of God
which surrounds us everywhere."
-Thomas Merton
Praying to remember that today.
