What Is God’s Plan : real-izing divine signature sketched on my heart
Finding God’s will means discovering the way of life that you were meant to live… the life that would bring you most joy. Jim Manney
O, to read between the lines
of the deathless thumbprint on my heart
to real — ize the signature
of my better part
sanction the unseeable
consent to disagreeable
confess my greed
admit my need
whole and holy written
between the nameless lines
sketched on my stoney heart
then, only then,
the unutterable design
pattern and purpose i would call mine
like sweet cream rising
to blush my face
recast my character
with grace
O, to read between the lines
of the deathless thumbprint on my heart
to real — ize the signature
of my better part

Jim Manney’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.
