You fall into this compassion,
this empathy,
2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.880
by learning to draw
From your source.

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.359
You know, John's Gospel
John 15 says,
4
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.719
"The branch cut off
from the vine is useless."
5
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.879
He was saying the same thing
that Buddhism is saying.
6
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:26.399
The individual not connected to
its source becomes more a problem.
7
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:28.960
Jesus puts it strongly, "You
might as well throw it
8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.280
into the fire. It's useless."
So what we're doing in
9
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.840
contemplative prayer is
reconnecting to our
10
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.200
positive source, choosing love.
I'll be honest. I had to do it this morning.
11
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.640
I'm dealing with the death
of my dog today
12
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.920
and then everything else
just ticked me off, you know.
13
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.759
And I was able by the grace of God,
I'm not making a saint out of myself
14
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.159
because I don't always do this,
but at a certain point,
15
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:59.039
I was able to say,
"but I choose love".
