THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME! S P I R I T UA L R E A D I N G & R E F L E C T I O N THE PENITENCE OF THE TAX COLLECTOR The fourth class are happy and lovely sinners, for they are penitents. It is true that in former times they fell deeply, more deeply, perhaps, and into greater mortal sins that all the other sinners of whom we have been discoursing. I care not for that, for now they have with utmost sincerity come close in to our Lord. They have turned away absolutely from all that is not simply God. Him alone they love, and above all things. To him they yield instantly in all happenings of life, no matter what. God will never reckon with these people s sins, he will never know their offenses again: they are wholly turned away from them, and so is God. Now what is the method and the mark of such people? It is that of a person who with absolute sincerity and in his inmost heart loves God and him alone, and holds him in view in all his life and work. He is conscious of a will most ready to do or not to do everything just as God wills. He searches the way God would lead him, whether directly or by his representatives, and that way he gladly takes, wholly detached from self-will. Magnificat October 2016 Father John Tauler, O.P. Fr. Tauler (+ 1361) was a German Dominican priest, a popular preacher, and a mystical theologian. THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED! PAGE 2
