The first thing I heard today when I was praying with these readings was “heart is more important than tradition. Go to the heart first.” As I sat with these words I was reminded that sometimes I let knowledge, rules and doctrine overshadow my experience, my relationship with God. But I felt God saying something more. I was being reminded that we don’t have to choose heart or head, but that both are important. Yes, my spirituality is, at its core, about my relationship with God, my experience, but it can be facilitated by the head knowledge, the doctrines, the Tradition. It was like God was saying both are important just don’t forget what is at the core, the relationship.
