To obtain the treasure, a person must buy the whole field. We cannot say, “I like this, but not that.” Rather, we can say it, but we must not allow these reactions to dictate our response. After all, the treasure found is something great. Our vocation is a gift. It is a relationship with the Lord that far exceeds its institutional and human expression.
(Mary David Totah, OSB /1957–2017/, Joy in God)
