Reflection for August 28

Doubt
The God we know has left a trail of crumbs for us, but remains to a great extent elusive and just beyond the grasp of absolute certainties. And that in itself is a gift; we might say we have received the gift of doubt. Just enough doubt to take this world seriously, this world that God so loves. (Br. Mark Brown, Society of Saint John the Evangelist, Brother, Give Us a Word).
