"If you prefer blessedness in yourself to blessedness in another,
that is not right...
God should be the rule and foundation of your love...
For if you love the blessedness in St. Paul and St. Peter as you do in yourself,
then you possess the same blessedness they have.
And if you love the blessedness in the angels as in yourself,
and the blessedness of Our Lady,
then you truly enjoy the same blessedness in yourself as they do.
It is yours as much as it is theirs."

~ Meister Eckhart

Let us love blessedness for the sake of blessedness,
and not only for the sake of ourselves,
for this is truly to love blessedness
(which is blessedness in God)
and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Loving blessedness in God,
all blessedness becomes our own.

What are you blessed with?

And whose blessedness blesses you?
