Filling Your Vessel

"If you take it out of the fountain to drink, the vessel is soon empty. But if you hold your vessel in the fountain while you drink, it will not get empty. Indeed it will always be full." ~ Catherine of Siena

This was the reading in evening prayer tonight. Every couple of weeks, I meet a friend and we pray together for our needs and the needs of those people in our lives and in the world. I realize upon reflecting on my day that this event keeps my vessel in the fountain. I won't run on empty if I am held accountable and strive to be faithful to my spiritual journey.

I am grateful tonight for the vessel in the fountain and those that help me hold it there. I am also joyfully blessed by the ones who clink my glass with theirs as we stand in the cool refreshing waters of that fountain.

Who in your life sustains you?

Peace,

Suzanne
