spiritual-life

Many of the most deeply spiritual moments of my life haven't happened just in my mind or in my soul. They happened while holding my son in the middle of the night, or watching the water break along the shore, or around my table, watching the people I love feel nourished in all sorts of ways.

Gratitude is glory to God.

To will and to do are by grace.

Only God can save every soul.

Do not be overcome by hate. But conquer hate with love.

Imagination is glow of thoughts by supernatural force.

The holy time establish the holy-event.

I will be a fisher of souls!

All glory to the great God of wonders!

Let us embrace the coming year with a living hope for everyday life.

God love to be with us. We must daily seek His presence.

The spirit of divinity lives in you.

Today we have different idols. . . We have trusted in human reason, science, and technology to solve our problems and progress toward a better world and a prosperous life. Yet idolatry brings death.

The beating heart of Christ's planting of churches is found in corporate prayer. It is through corporate intercession that the leader and the team of shepherds find release from fears, misconceptions, prejudices, pride, and self-will. This release comes as Christ Himself visits them. He makes them one in heart and mind as they pray together. What are they seeking? For God to work in others, of course, but as a presupposition of His working they must be seeking a manifestation of Christ's presence in their own hearts and lives.

If we are called to attention by God__ Life and Holy Spirit, then the __piritual life_ is not a pleasant option we might like to pursue when we have space and time; it is that which is now creating its own space and time within us, and to neglect it is to lose ourselves.

In solitude we discover that community is not a common ideology, but a response to a common call.

Faith changes us - faith in something intrinsically good, something other than ourselves, something bigger than ourselves.

Avoiding change is denying the path that leads to your spiritual growth.
