Going on Pilgrimage

Wisdom of Catherine of Siena
Today, on this feast of Catherine of Siena, we listen to some of her wise words.
“The sun hears the fields talking about effort and the sun smiles, and whispers to me, “Why don’t the fields just rest, for I am willing to do everything to help them grow?” Rest, my dears, in prayer.”
- Catherine of Siena

Finding the Universe
“A Zen master said to a monk, “You must see the universe in your cup.” The monk looked into his cup, but he didn’t see the universe there, so he threw the cup away. The Zen master said, “Oh, poor cup.” We think the cup is too small to hold the universe. Intellectually, we can’t see how it could fit. But wherever we go, the whole universe always appears – in a cup, in a window, in a smile, in a word.”
