Thresholds – Christine Valters Paintner

“Today is a threshold. Whenever we awaken to life’s invitations, we are called to cross a threshold to something new. We are called to remember the preciousness of our days. If we remember, as St. Benedict wisely counseled, to ‘keep death daily before your eyes,’ how can this not blow wide the places sealed tightly within us?”
