Wednesday’s Wink from Above 05/13/2026 Easter Season Living the Questions?

 

Living the questions runs counter to society’s desire to share knowledge, especially scientific knowledge to understand everything. Sometimes we must accept the fact that asking the question, and reflecting on the question is sufficient, the most important answers will come when we meet God “in the land of the living.”

God cannot be fully understood and we must accept that here on earth we are called to humble ourselves and exalt God.

Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves.”

He, also, said, “Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” 

May God Be Praised.

Wednesday's Wink from Above: Blog Post 05/06/2026– Easter Season

 

 

 Living a day as a disciple of Jesus.

“Begin each day offering your thoughts and actions to God. When you compete an action say, that’s for You dear Lord. When you think a thought, say that’s for You Lord. Your prayers can of said and offered in your heart. If per chase your thought and/or action isn’t good ask God for forgiveness and continue with you day.” [slightly modified]

St. Augustine wrote, "I call you into my soul, which you prepare to accept you by the longing that you breathe into it…. before I called upon you, you went ahead and helped me…." [The Confessions of Saint Augustine, p. 302]

A beautiful way to live as a disciple of the Risen Lord. 

 

May God Be Praised

Wednesday’s Wink from Above 04-29-2026 Easter Season

 

“With what gift shall I commit Yahweh’s presence? This is what Yahweh asks of you: only this, to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God”  [Micah 6; 6]

As celebrate the Easter Season let’s reflect on what St. Francis de Sales meant by Living Jesus.

When we dress put on Jesus!

When we wash, wash in Jesus!

When we talk, talk Jesus!

When we smile, smile Jesus!

Brother Lawrence in his book The Practice in the Presence of God offers us this advice. Do what we do for God.

To live that way we need discipline and discipline to follow Jesus is based on WISDOM.

In the Celtic Tradition spiritual enrichment or development is founded on:

1.         knowledge of self

2.         compassion for others

3.         friendship with God

Friendship with God comes from Scripture, the Sacraments, especially the Sacrament of the Eucharist, and quiet time with the Lord.

 

May God Be Praised.
