Sometimes it may seem to us that there is no purpose in our lives, that going day after day to this office or that school or factory is nothing else but waste and weariness. But it may be that God has sent us there because but for us Christ would not be there. If our being there means that Christ is there, that alone makes it worthwhile.

I have not read anything by Caryll Houselander but everytime I find a quote from her works in Magnificat, I am impressed. I'm impressed by this too.
ReplyDeleteI read Reed of God a long time ago. I recall it being good though I probably need to reread it!
