“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
I have sat with this for awhile – not because I disagreed but because I was concentrating on what I might write. And suddenly I realised what I was “doing”. Simply writing or looking for a few catchy phrases does not do anything to invite myself and others to go deeper.
A light is has entered a darkness and I am reminded of a well learned lesson of “Be in order to Do”.
How could I forget that? How have I become so distracted by some health problems and what I no longer seem to be able to do? What about “going deeper” as I sit in God’s presence that is always here and now – more than a feeling, rather a sense of being.
Last night I had my first session as I joined with others in the Pastoral Care Formation course. I met new people coming from a wide variety of Christian Churches and who introduced themselves and why they were there. All of us want to deepen our “quality of presence. Many of us want to go deeper in developing our sense of presence with those that we currently walk with as “pilgrims of hope in communion” and others who are actively discerning God’s call to them.
A light goes on and the heavens sing – God is not done with me yet, and neither is Eugene. There is great triumph somehow in how I join the heavens in song, great joy in realising I am still standing in the light and immense gratitude to God for all that I am given and all that I am being led to share.
Alleluia! And thank you Frank for continuing to invites to walk with you, with St. Eugene and all of his sons and daughters. Once again I begin look at the fullness of God’s love as we all journey together.
