Our unique wounds (MLK Jr. & Fr. Ron Rolheiser)


Whatever your life's work is, do it well.
--Martin Luther King, Jr.

   I’m convinced that God calls each of us to a vocation and to a special work here on earth more on the basis of our wounds than on the basis of our gifts. Our gifts are real and important, but they only grace others when they are shaped into a special kind of compassion by the uniqueness of our own wounds. Our unique, special wounds can help make each of us a unique, special healer. 

--Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI
