Our Lives Matter: Hallelujah
God is active, personal, and — above all — present to us. The daily grind of our everyday lives takes on transcendent importance. It’s the place where we connect with God. Ignatianspirituality.com
On the matter of mattering
who knows
Mojo* shakes sighs stretches waking?
gold dust on piñon glittering?
shrill trill of silence singing?
fur comforter alluring?
Who but me
can tastes the ting of things?
inhale dancing dust mites?
scratch God’s itchy toes ?
exhale Hallelujah?
My life… our lives matter!
Poem by Debra Asis
Ignatian Spirituality.com quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney, 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.
