"When Nelson Mandela was liberated after 25 years of imprisonment by apartheid regimes, he made
this confession: “My greatest enemy was not those who put or kept me in prison. It was myself. I
was afraid to be who I am.”""I was afraid to be who I am" is the phrase that is ringing in my ears… and when that happens (i.e. a phrase really strikes me) it is time for some reflection in the time honored Lectio Divina style of asking: Why did that phrase strike me? How does it relate to my life and growth? What might God be asking/inviting me into? Lectio Divina is certainly not a process limited to reading the Bible.
