Yesterday the Office of Readings provided this wonderful reflection from St. Augustine that continues to amaze me every time I read it.
The word in my heart is to convey the love of God. Yet so often the "voice" of my actions falls short of that desire. I become like the mindless babbling into which we so often lapse when we are exhausted or frantic and lose our focus on the purpose of our speaking.
But also, too often I am a selfish voice, wanting to be loved for myself rather than desiring chiefly to let God be loved.
