"Thou mastering me God ...."

"Thou mastering me God! giver of breath and bread; World's strand, sway of the sea; Lord of living and dead; Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh, And after it almost unmade, what with dread, Thy doing: and dost thou touch me afresh? Over again I feel thy finger and find thee." From The Wreck of the Deutschland by Gerard Manley Hopkins SJ.

Say it with Flowers

• Wonder is the Heart of

Contemplation…

• Solitude is togetherness…

• Does Jesus Christ have faith in You?

Knowing by Unknowing

How did the universe come to be? However brilliant, educated, or experienced we may be, we do not know everything that there is to know…

Sense of Wonder

You are more than What you have become.

Originality

Originality in the realm of the Spirit is a losing of self in the origin of all things.

Sense of Wonder

Sense of Wonder When we wonder about persons,

things,

events and

experiences,

we are in the heart of God.

Finding God

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude."
