Where might you be called to make “offerings of greater value?” Jim Manney

O, to answer the call
be bigger than small
see and say
touch and know
… texture of awe
… temper of trepidation

O, to see beyond seeing
touch beyond touching
borrow angel wings
annunciate virginal states
… curiosity consternation
… foreboding fascination

O, to be confident
conceived to celebrate
clandestine cache
cloaked in time’s crack
… wonder of wonder
… terror of terror

Jim Manney’s question 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.
