Think about where, when, why & how do you encounter God? Albert Einstein said, “There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Francis Thompson wrote, “To most, even good people, God is a belief. To the saints God is an embrace.”
Is God always speaking?
Does God want us to listen to His voice? Why?
How can we be aware of God’s presence? (to listen)
How can we hear God’s voice today?
Our View of God’s Will for us sometimes gets blocked, so we must do our best and do what we know is right. Maybe Thomas Merton “Thoughts in Solitude” can help us, spend a few minutes reading it:
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore, I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.”
Saint Joseph, pray for us.
Saint Andre Bessette intercede for us.
May God Be Praised!
