A Saint Who Lives In Complete Activity : being as snow
“In the heart filled with God, all things speak of God.” This is the secret of being a contemplative in action. Jim Manney
snow crystals anoint
pinecones pebbles
eyelashes puppy paws
reigning
baptismal prisms
sprinkling saintliness
every thing every thing
every thing is
divinity breathing
snow crystals
compelling blessing
retire dusty tomes
bow to blind curator
being as snow crystals
absorbed in all things
absolving all things
consecrating pinecones
pebbles eyelashes puppy paws
every thing every thing
every thing is
holy
when you endure it

Jim Manney’s quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney is a series of daily reflections from the Spiritual Wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Throughout the book we hear the voices of St. Ignatius as well as many great thinkers and writers, long gone and present day, each uniquely revealing the way of finding God in all things. And that is my intention; to find God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality in whatever presents itself to me each day in 2024.
Each day I read, reflect and write on the selection, hoping to articulate the ways in which I come to know God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality via personal experience, impelled by the leading of my inner life.
