One does not love God less by loving someone more; in reaching out to love another person we are reaching out for God. To speak about love for God and love for human beings is the same reality. Ronald Modras

one love
one sourceless spring
original blessing gushing
responding connecting trustworthy
supporting respecting unselfish
attending forgiving compassionate
uplifting refreshing generative
no strings
no catch
inexhaustible
river flows to water mill buckets
love fills empties fills
cranks life’s curious wheel
ever giving love away
never spilling a drop

Words through Debra Asis, by the grace of Infinite Generativity

Ronald Modras’ 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.
