I will be away for several days and will not have access
to a computer. The next Reflection will be on October 9. Please keep me in your
prayers.
Over these days, I’d like to leave you with one simple
notion for your reflection. A simple notion, yet one which, if given proper
attention, is a wide and wonderful as the entire universe.
That notion is this: God is with you, all the time.
That’s all, and it certainly is enough. In fact, if you
give it its due, it is not only enough, but it is everything.
God is with us, all the time.
And yet, how easily we can forget it, or overlook it, or
even turn our backs on it, especially if we are doing, thinking or acting in a
way which we’d rather He not see. And yet, He’s there.
At all times and in all places, you are within his
embrace and you are in touch with the author of everything—as Saint Paul says,
in whom we live, and move, and have our being.
All it takes is one simply breath—in fact, less than
that. All it takes is one simple inhalation, and during that time, you can
re-establish a contact which has lost its freshness and its reality.
Take that breath. Often. When you inhale, think of God
breathing the breath of life into you at the moment of your birth, a breath
which will never leave you until the day you pass from this life to the other
side.
Close your eyes. Smile just a bit. And inhale.
God is with you, all the time.
Have a nice week.
