"she needs a place where she belongs, which is her own, where her name is on the door and where she has her own furniture. A place where she is at home and where she become a place - a place for others. She has been looking for such a place during her whole life, but she has never found it. she thought she would, when she let herself be taken in by men. All she found was a bed, but not a place." "In other words, unless someone married her, she will never become happy." "Not necessarily. There are married couples who never become a place. And there are single people who have a place, who are a place. When you visit them you feel that you come into a place." "And God? Where does God enter into all of this? Wouldn't you say that her deepest need is God?" "Yes." "But you said her deepest need is a place." "It's the same. God is the only place there is. Those who find a place, find God. And those who find God, have found a place - regardless of where they are and regardless of whether they are married or single." Everytime I go to visit my sisters SMC, I feel like i'm in such a place. Thank you girls for offering this nice and warming place. You don't know how lucky you are to have the place. |
