Cracked Vessels

We  all have flaws.  We have shadows.  Even the best among us has imperfections that come right along with our best qualities. We react, we overreact, we ignore. I lose my temper and patience—sometimes just when anger and impatience are needed, and sometimes at the most inopportune times.  And that’s just one on the very long list of the things that are wrong with me. We are all cracked vessels. The treasure of our being is stored in earthen jars. And since all of us are imperfect, we have to be gentle with ourselves. -Rev. Michael Tino (CLF)

How can you be gentle with yourself today?
