Note the connection between prayer and work. Work draws us into love of God; the God we meet in prayers draws us into active service. Jim Manney

if i do what i do as genersoity of God
all that i do is prayer

if i do what i do as faithfulness of God
all that i do is prayer

if i do what i do as mercy of God
all that i do is prayer

if i do what i do as largess of God
all that i do is prayer

if i do what i do as endowment of God
all that i do is prayer

if i do what i do as compassion of God
all that i do is prayer

if i do what i do as wisdom of God
all that i do is prayer

if all that i do is for the glory of God
all that i do is love

The Spiritual Exercise 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.
