Called to Freedom: Week 3
When we are lifted above all things, and everything within us is raised up, nothing can oppress us. What is beneath me cannot weigh on me. If my attention were fixed on God alone, so that there was nothing above me but God, then nothing whatsoever would bother me, and I should not be easily distressed. St. Augustine says, “Lord, when I turn to thee, all heaviness, sorrow, and distress is taken from me.” When we have got beyond time and temporal things, then we are free and always joyful, and then there is the “fullness of time,” and then God's Son is born in you. -Meister Eckhart, Sermon 68 (14th century)
