Like electricity charging through my body,
I am awakened and alarmed,
Simultaneously,
This time it is beyond awareness.
It is the call to come home.
“While he was praying his face changed in appearance”
Gospel of Luke
Scripture meditation for the Daily Gospel
Openings … The Wrong Airplane
Just settled in and we are taxiing along in readiness for takeoff.
Suddenly, I ask the purpose of the trip,
and find that I am heading to Jordan and Egypt for a parachute jump!
What made me get on this plane without checking, I cannot leave.
Then, waking, I am relieved to find the airplane left without me.
“Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.”
Gospel of Matthew
Openings … Instant Gratification
Instant gratification or the desire for immediate pleasure
Meryl Streep in Postcards from the Edge
“I don’t have the patience for it”
Sadly sums up much of an earlier life
Let me now embrace humility and love and gain … everything.
“one’s life does not consist of possessions”
Gospel of Luke
