"Hear the word of the Lord...'Wash, make yourselves clean...cease to do evil, learn
to do good, search for justice, help the oppressed, be just to the orphan, plead
for the widow.'" (Isaiah 1)
Discipline follows from being a disciple. It is our effort to do as our Master does.
Jesus gave space for the Father to give him what he needed. When you and I are fearful
and anxious, we want to take control of our lives...When we follow Jesus we practice
a discipline that gives space to let the Father touch us, forgive us and receive us.
- Fr. Henri Nouwen
