Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up
Exodus 3
There are no unsacred places
there are only sacred places, and desecrated places.
Wendell Berry
The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the Blessed Sacrament.
Brother Lawrence
Prayer
God of Grace
I pray
Not for an escape
but presence
in the chaos of my days
Make this life
an altar
May I move through it
with love
Blessing
Dear Friend
May you consecrate this very moment. May you feel the nearness and the goodness of God in your next breath. There are no unsacred moments.
The Christian mystics taught that the bush was burning all along. Moses only had to slow down long enough to see it.
May you discover what is hidden within the ordinary.
May every moment be an act of union and worship.
May your life be lived with God for God.
In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Amen
A few weeks ago I preached on the priesthood of all believers: “you are a priest presiding at the altar of your life.” I love this prayer! Thank you for these offerings!
