His classic spiritual works never fail to offer perennial nuggets of wisdom that speak to the universal human condition. The heart is insatiable. How do we feed it? In this work he insists that we do all in our power to purify our attachments to anything and everything that inhibits or hinders our journey to union with God. He proposes a purposeful entry into the active nights of sense and spirit, a path of\u00a0<i>NADA para TODO.\u00a0<\/i>His program consists of emptying one\u2019s self of sensory indulgences, images, memories, desires and affections that stifle the true flame of charity for God and neighbor. Far from dehumanizing one\u2019s potential, this project of life strives to put all one\u2019s strength into a single-minded purpose: a death to the old self so as to dispose one\u2019s self to true union with the Lord. The\u00a0<i>Ascent\u00a0<\/i>is an adventure into the night of faith. In chapter 31, John illustrates God\u2019s pedagogy through Mary Magdalene\u2019s experience on Easter Sunday. First, the Lord allowed her to witness the empty tomb, an invitation to believe without seeing. God\u2019s mercy strengthens our faith when His felt presence eludes us. Second, the angels speak. Faith comes through hearing. God invites a deeper listening to the undercurrents of his divine providence. The angel\u2019s words quicken her heart in hope, like a small light in the darkness. It encourages her to continue her search for the Lord, despite feeling that her foundations of security were ripped out from under her. When Mary finally recognizes the presence of the Lord, her heart is warmed, enkindling her love for him. But she is quickly sent, ordered to not cling to him. God invites us to an even greater faith, hope and love that denies one\u2019s self the security even of supernatural gifts. He launches us into a mode of self-gift, a type of participation in his own <i>kenosis.<\/i> As we approach June, the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, let us examine our own hearts, asking the Lord for the grace of single-mindedness and single-heartedness. \u201cCut the strings\u201d that allow the heart to take flight into a new way of seeing, desiring and loving. From the profound experience of poverty of spirit is born reverence, wonder and gratitude. Far from possessing nothing (NADA), we receive all (TODO) we need. We now \u201cpossess God\u201d in faith, hope and charity. The theological virtues become our predominant mode of being. <strong>And in the likeness of Christ, we become more fully human.<\/strong> <em>Wishing you a blessed month of the Sacred Heart,<\/em> Jennifer Ristine <em>Author of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/mary-magdalene-insights-from-ancient-magdala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mary Magdalene, Insights from Ancient Magdala<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/nine-days-with-mary-magdalene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nine Days with Mary Magdalene<\/a>\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The path of nothing in order to win everything.
