Jesus never split contemplation from action. He calls us into one life, rooted in union with God and expressed through love of neighbor.Somewhere in the middle of life, we find ourselves loving what is still beginning and what is slowly winding down. That middle place carries its own ache, but it also carries its own gift.Accepting Application
