God Is Trying To Catch Our Attention : every-way
… at every moment of our existence God is communicating to us who God is and who we are in God’s sight. Whether we are aware of it or not, at every moment of our existence we are encountering God… who is trying to get our attention. William Barry, SJ

is it you?
is it you God?
waxing wonder?
plundering certainty?
stoking confidence?
provoking humility?
is it you?
is it you God?
spilling tears?
canoodling fears?
compelling composure?
jolting surprise?
is it you?
is it you God?
inside outside upside downside
every-way trying
to catch our attention?

William Barry SJ’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.
