Do not be ashamed of yourselves for being human. Do not make the mistake of creating an ideal that is purely spiritual and imagining that you should live in that ideal then chastising yourselves when you fall short. You can, however, through the life of prayer gradually make steps towards the spiritual without abandoning your humanity. The spiritual life embraces the human life, it does not supplant it, it enhances it. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-07-07-Prayer#Lesson Ham] | Do not be ashamed of yourselves for being human.
