Pray With Your Calendar : find your mirror in the little grey box
Some great pray-ers pray with their calendar. They consider what they have done for God, and what they are doing now. Joseph Tetlow, SJ
my calendar’s fine lined grey grid
puts on view all that i did
initials abbreviation
impersonate emanation
sanctity typed on cell’s seed
of every blah and blessed deed
how do my hours realize
each day with values fertilize
balancing inconsequential
with the right and quintessential
truth-telling fine lined grey box
betrays my day and years take stock
adding up to who i am
24-carat or sham?

Joseph Tetlow’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.
