3. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth
🙏 Questions for reflection
- In which ways is God's will present in my life? How does it shape my thoughts, my actions...?
- How does God see me? What kind of person is he calling me to be? What are the 'masks' concealing who I really am?
- What are the moments in my life when I most need God's grace? What are the weaknesses where his strength can be manifested?
📚 Further reading
- Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation. A favourite theme of this 20th-century Cistercian monk is how the spiritual life leads us to become our true selves, written in a simple yet honest and moving style.
- St Augustine, The Confessions. This spiritual classic illustrates like no other the way in which God has prepared a unique path for each of us to the final encounter with Him.
