THROUGH THE ORDINARY

Through the Ordinary by Pat Twohy, S.J. It is through the ordinary, through ordinary eyes and hands, through our flesh and blood and the flesh and blood of our children, that a Great Power comes into the world. Through simple lives, humble and forgotten, the Spirit races through the world touching everyone, touching everything with a sovereign dignity, with a forgetfulness of self, surrounding a...ll with an incomprehensible Silence that for those who hear it becomes the sound of spirits singing. And it does not matter whether we move forward or backward in time, flesh and blood are there, and the Silence, and this immense Song which we, too, can sing if only we allow it to enter our ordinary bodies and change us into something entirely new.
