That I might be changed by grace through practices of the rule of St. Benedict and the Cistercian charisms . This site is personal pondering of what it means to return to the awe and the wonder of the Trinity’s work among us. . It is a life long pondering , a life in Lectio, of the whispering of St. John who writes: “ Beloved, we are God’s children now and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as He is . “ 1 John 3:2
WORD PRESS. DAILY PROMPT
Have you ever broken a bone?
Yep, Broken ribs given to patient after CPR . And here is the Conversation of a jaded nurse whose patient complains of broken rib pain.
Im sorry sir , i know it hurts
It’s really not broken , its only a fracture
But , your heart needed a jolt
Or you would be in rapture
All will be healed in a little longer
As what doesn’t kill will grow back stronger.
A friend of mine spent several weeks groaning with a cracked rib after I saved him from choking with the Heimlich maneuver. I agree with the jaded nurse. Some things are more permanent than a cracked rib.
