Becoming What You Are

Here is the passage that led me to resign. I still am scared shitless and wonder if I made a mistake. "Living by faith" can feel so tricky sometimes. Here we go, hang on kiddos!

Becoming what you are
from The Sources of Taize, Brother Roger

Fulfillment? Are you hesitating over a choice for fear of making a mistake?

Stop summoning your own darkness to cover your refusal. Happy all those who tear their hands from their eyes and dare to go forward, sustained solely by the trusting of faith.

Fulfillment? Become what you are in your heart of hearts...
...and the gates of a spirit of childhood will open, the wonder of a love.

A fountain of gladness surges up for you. Not euphoria, not just any kind of joy, but the jubilation that comes straight from the wellsprings of eternity.
