According to an explanation I heard once and really liked, being one of the last letters of the alphabet, Tau symbolizes the spirit of simplicity and service to others that St. Francis of Assisi had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My friend B\u00e1rbara was telling me the other day that deep down, all religions and spiritual teachings end up taking us to the same truths, which we can arrive at through many different paths\u2026 In my particular case, I grew up in a Catholic environment; that's my family tradition and a big portion of my social background, so it was through Catholicism that I took my first steps in the journey of spirituality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, I attended a school run by Franciscan friars, and I have very special memories of the religious celebrations, prayer groups, retreats and pilgrimages I participated in with them, also later on during my college years. Above all, I loved the feeling of joy and peace that the friars conveyed, their spirit of prayer and service, and their willingness to roll up their sleeves and lend a helping hand for whatever it was that needed to be done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then as years went by, I started leaning more towards secular spirituality, which is where I am nowadays, but I'm totally convinced that the background is really the same, the Spirit is really the same, only with a different name. And I can't help thinking that for example the mantras and meditations that are practiced in yoga very closely resemble the meditative chants at those Easter celebrations in the convent of El Palancar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I want to share with you a couple of pearls of wisdom from St Francis. First, a prayer that to me is as simple as it is beautiful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.\nWhere there is hatred, let me bring love.\nWhere there is offence, let me bring pardon.\nWhere there is discord, let me bring union.\nWhere there is error, let me bring truth.\nWhere there is doubt, let me bring faith.\nWhere there is despair, let me bring hope.\nWhere there is darkness, let me bring your light.\nWhere there is sadness, let me bring joy.\nO Master, let me not seek as much\nto be consoled as to console,\nto be understood as to understand,\nto be loved as to love,\nfor it is in giving that one receives,\nit is in self-forgetting that one finds,\nit is in pardoning that one is pardoned,\nit is in dying that one is raised to Eternal Life.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And second, a phrase I discovered recently that is also attributed to him:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.<\/p><cite>St. Francis of Assisi<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ayer, mirando por casa buscando otra cosa, me encontr\u00e9 con esto: Mi Tau, qu\u00e9 buenos recuerdos&#8230; La Tau es una letra griega, el equivalente a la T latina, y es tambi\u00e9n un s\u00edmbolo franciscano.
