Confessing our attachments before the holy One, we return to our true root identity in God. We abandon the false self to embrace the true one. Remember, the self caught up in worry, power plays and image management is not the true self; it’s a self that creates its identity through attachment to secondary things. But God has given you an identity. Receive it. Recollect your Christ-in-me identity. Over time, the prayer of recollection is meant to shape your soul so you rest in the bosom of Christ, in the arms of God, in the love of the Spirit.
The Interior Castle by Teresa of Ávila
Transformation in Christ by Hans Urs von Balthasar
“When we pray ‘through Christ’ more is involved than merely asking God in heaven to make some kind of intervention. The community too, and we ourselves, must be involved not just in the petition but also in trying to bring about what the petition pleads for.” —Ronald Rolheiser
