Find what you’re looking for
God is not an idea or a concept for you to grasp. God is not something to be studied or something to define. No definition would be wide enough. God can never be fully contained by words or be understood by the human mind. You cannot define God but you can be with God. You can know God.

Thank you, Lord, for giving me a voice and a hope and a purpose, as well as blessings to proclaim. Thank you for the whisper and the shout and the simple, obedient statement, all of which are mine to sound out and are designed by your hand.

By taking time to prepare our hearts before going to Mass, we find that the seed of God’s Word takes deeper root in us.
Deep down, we all have a sense that we were put on earth for something. We have a mission and our hearts yearn to discern what that mission is. Often we come close, but we sense what we’ve found isn’t quite the whole thing or the real thing. Not to fret, because if our hearts are pure, we’ll be led to it.
-from Loaded: Money and the Spirituality of Enough
Father, grant me the grace to remain calm and serene in the midst of turmoil in my own life so that I can reflect at least a little of Jesus’ peace. I ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Anyone can find what is beautiful and true by living apart from ordinary life. Everyone is enlightened on the mountaintop. The harder choice is to live with the knowing right in the center of your life. In your daily chores. In the middle of a family. In places of commerce. The challenge is to find what is beautiful and true in ordinary life.

Maybe the highest form of spirituality is simply to bear patiently with our brokenness. In the midst of a world of emotional and psychological violence, perhaps we can at least refrain from violence of any kind toward ourselves.

This prayer touches us on a profound level.
Father, there are ways in which I have grown quiet. Some hopes and dreams in my heart are too long-awaited, too sacred to be the stuff of idle chatter. Lord, I trust your faithfulness and your goodness and your love. I offer these dreams back to you and entrust them to your care.

I recently drove a couple hours down the highway on a great adventure. I live in an old home.
