Daily Thoughts - We are an Easter People.
"Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: "You Athenians, I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, 'To an Unknown God.' What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and all that is in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands, nor is he served by human hands because he needs anything. Rather it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and everything. He made from one the whole human race to dwell on the entire surface of the earth, and he fixed the ordered seasons and the boundaries of their regions, so that people might seek God, even perhaps grope for him and find him, though indeed he is not far from any one of us. For 'In him we live and move and have our being,' as even some of your poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring.'" Acts 17:22-28
Are you seeking the Lord? Even groping for Him? It takes effort, real effort.
Dear Father God, we sit in quiet contemplation, I have to temper my actions and thoughts to focus on You. You sit there and watch quietly as I learn to quiet my mind and listen with the heart. The influences of this world penetrates our beings yet You are still greater. Help us overcome self and the outside world, reveal Truth to us as we sit together. Thank You for the lessons that are received during the day, thank You for help in all the situations that rise up during the day. May we be a pleasing offering to You as we live out our bible stories in real time, knowing that in the end we will be in Your presence. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Ardent, Pray for us.
St Ignatius, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
