The Earth Laughs with Flowers

As a devout practitioner of our faith, Sr. Joan has a deep understanding of our faith traditions.  Chapter 15 speaks to The Times for Saying Alleluia.  The title of today's post is Sr. Joan's quote from Emerson.  What a beautiful way to think about our use of Alleluia--our proclamation of joy.  Sr. Joan reminds us that we truly are an Easter people and Alleluia is our cry.

Even life in hot fields and drab offices and small houses is somehow one long happy thought when God is its center, and blessings, however rare, however scant, are blessed.

We simply must learn to surrender into His hands--making Him the center of our lives!
