“And here the paradox discloses its ultimate depth: God’s creativity in God’s diminishment, God’s Resurrection in God’s Death.” (Sister Anke, The Creativity of Diminishment)

Life is a race. You are racing against time. Your life is such that you are running a race against a diminishing life.

“John the Baptist says something amazing: ‘He must increase, but I must decrease’ (John 3: 30 RSV). The Greek text in a literal translation is a very direct statement on our theme: ‘Christ must grow, but I must be diminished!’ in Greek, the passive voice! The paradox is revealed here as a change of dominion: no longer I but He! It is Christ in us, Christ in our world, who must grow, become more and more, He, the Creator, the Lord—and therefore we have to resign, to be diminished in a very real sense. Christ needs our whole being for this growing in us. ‘It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me’ (Gal. 2: 20). Christ now is the active one in growing Himself and in diminishing us. Our part is to let it happen to us, really to become less.”

Here are some birthday observations:

Things change. Family changes: the old guard that knew more than you did are…
