"I know you by heart..."
Close your eyes.
Pause.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Imagine God (or Godde) beside you.
Listen as God (Godde) serenades you with these words...
"I know you by heart ..."
May we be blessed knowing we are loved.

"If you are faced with a mountain, you have several options.
You can climb it and cross to the other side. You can go around it. You can dig under it. You can fly over it. You can blow it up. You can ignore it and pretend it’s not there. You can turn around and go back the way you came. Or you can stay on the mountain and make it your home.” Vera Nazarian Daniel Berrigan SJ writes in "Uncommon Prayer",
"I had rather a thousand times spend my life's energies working to heal injustice around me, and never once speak of God; of doing for God, of clarifying my motives (!) - than spend my life converting others to God, while I gave not a snap for prisoners, slave camps, wars, starving peoples, the sins of the mighty,. To what God would I be converting others, in such a demented case? In what God would I believe?" May God rain down blessings upon us. "Do not try to approach God with your thinking mind.
It may only stimulate your intellectual ideas, activities, and beliefs. Try to approach God with your crying heart. It will awaken your soulful, spiritual consciousness." Sri Chimnoy May your approach be filled with grace. How do we search? Why do we search? For what do we search? With whom do we search? May our search be blessed. "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” Pablo Neruda in 100 Love Sonnets Close your eyes. Imagine God whispering these words to you. Imagine yourself saying these words to God. Intimacy with God is a grace and a blessing. Let us receive it with open hearts. "You are the centre,
you are my life. You are the centre O Lord, of my life. Give me your spirit, teach me your ways Give me your peace, Lord, and set me free." Margaret Rizza |
