“It’s a gift to joyfully recognize and accept our own smallness and
ordinariness. Then you are free with nothing to live up to, nothing to
prove, and nothing to protect. Such freedom is my best description of
Christian maturity, because once you know that your 'I' is great and one
with God, you can ironically be quite content with a small and
ordinary 'I.' No grandstanding is necessary. Any question of your own
importance or dignity has already been resolved once and for all and
forever.” Richard Rohr
