Peace is a river washing over me on a warm summer’s day,
Sensual and soul filled, it cools and soothes me,
cleansing mind and body of all that is not God,
until I am joyous with torso bursting Spirit.
Like teenage infatuation, I lie clear; bathed in love; resting in Him.
“let the peace of Christ control your hearts,
the peace into which you were also called in one Body.”
Colossians
As we look at each person we meet today,
Turn on the movie camera, record each moment, each movement, each word spoken to you.
Don’t respond to all with reactions today, or immediately, and reflect on what you have recorded,
Then respond, with love and awakening from your spirit within.
and you will see the Face of God.
“At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them
because they were troubled and abandoned,
like sheep without a shepherd.”
This is a rather terrifying picture, outlined in today’s Gospel. The rich man who did not help the poor in today’s Gospel is seeing his fine robes and linens as he is separated from God. The message is simple, if you have gifts and riches, share them with those less fortunate. By making ourselves “poor in spirit” we will accumulate riches beyond comprehension in heaven.
