seeing, thursday

Thursday, May 1

Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to be still before God.

Opening Prayer: Then run, faithful souls, happy and tireless, keep up with your Beloved who marches with giant strides from one end of heaven to the other.  Nothing is hidden from His eyes.  He walks alike over the smallest blade of grass, the tallest cedars, grains of sand or rocky mountains.  Wherever you go He has gone before.  Only follow Him and you will find Him everywhere. (The Sacrament of the Present Moment by Jean-Pierre De Caussade)

Scripture Reading for the Day: John 9:1-41

Reading for Reflection:

The hardest thing about really seeing and really hearing is when you really have to do something about what you have seen and heard.

Reflection and Listening: silent and written

Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself

                                          
Closing Prayer: Behold, the fiery sun is rising; may blindness at last depart—let us speak nothing underhanded, let us consider nothing dark.  To God the Father be the glory, and to his only Son, with the Spirit, for everlasting ages.  Amen. (The Little Book of Hours)
