If You Are Looking For God, God Will Find You : trust
… when we set ourselves toward some worthy purpose that transcends our meager strength, we tap into a source of meaning, strength and courage that is beyond us. We come to realize in a graced moment, that we are called to some great purpose, that we cannot do it on our own, but that we don’t have to do it on our own. Chris Lowry
poised with pen and pad I pray
O Holy One lead me today
unknowable words to compose
Your poetry and prudent prose
searching stretches the horizon
of my courage to rely on
Your free-giving benevolence
to animate my emptiness
’cause in Your absence I am dead
bloodless bones breathless head
but with my pen poised for Your purpose
You pour substance into corpus
doing what I cannot conceive
my barrenness You relieve
Poem through Debra Asis, by the grace of Infinite Generativity

Chris Lowry’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.
