Last week I had the pleasure of creating a short video for the Called By Name Daily Devotional from WINE: Women in the New Evangelization.
I love that I get to participate in projects such as this one. It’s an honor to be included among such wonderful writers, catechists, and evangelists! And I hope my brief message about friendship resonates with you.
Watching the sun rise across the bay never gets old. Each morning is unique, affected by the weather and the time of year. Red and purple sunrises. Orange and hazy sunrises. Golden hues against deep blue skies.
Every morning is a poem in God’s palette. The sunrise is a moment of grace that explodes with hope: the gift of a new day to be lived to the fullest.
I love the sounds of early morning. First, the silence, and then the birdsong as the world around me wakes up. There’s something about dawn that sets the mood for the rest of my day. I’m struck by the beauty of the rising sun, but more than that, it inspires in me a sense of gratitude in anticipation of the day.
Even on days when I wake up dreading the challenges I’ll face, that moment of wonder when the first ray explodes on the horizon inspires hope for the miracles that await.
Today’s reading from St. Teresa of Avila instructs us to live in the Truth. More than just not telling lies, it is about not living lies.
The challenge is to live my day with my eyes, my actions, my very soul toward God. Share on XThat’s always hard, to be truthful with myself. I can spend the whole day telling myself little lies that peck away at my soul. Just this little bit of gossip won’t hurt…. I’ll pray that rosary later….I’ll just do this thing this one time and then never again.
The challenge is to live my day with my eyes, my actions, my very soul toward God.If I can manage that, I am confident everything else will fall into place.
You can pick up a copy of Let Nothing Disturb You for this wonderful daily reflection.
