When Every Space is Sacred: Cultivating an Awareness of God’s Presence in Everyday Life
In a world that often seems to be burning around us, both literally and figuratively, it is difficult to notice a single burning bush.
In a world deafened by the noise of the loudest and most powerful voices, the still small voice of the Holy Spirit all but disappears.
Yet God continues to speak in the stillness, in the silence, and in the quiet out of the way places so few dare to walk, let alone take off their shoes.
What will it take to notice?
What will it take to pay attention and stay awake to God’s presence in our midst?
And what will it take for the church to recover her role as sacred space where all people can drink deeply from the fountain of living water flowing forth from the loving presence of her creator?
I Arise Today: A 40-Day Journey through St. Patrick’s Breastplate Prayer
40 Days Jesus prayed in the wilderness.
40 Days St. Patrick prayed upon this mountain.
Where is God calling you in these next 40 Days?
40 days often represents a season of preparation, though what exactly God is preparing us for may be unclear. Nevertheless, there is something to be said for the journey.
So let us walk this path together, a 40-day pilgrimage, if you will, up Croagh Patrick (St. Patrick’s Mountain) in County Mayo, Ireland. May the mountain remind us in this season, God invites us to come away from the busyness of life and simply be.
Using the Breastplate Prayer of St. Patrick as our guide, we will learn to “Arise Today” and each day in the grace of our Three-One God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And just maybe as St. Patrick is said to have “driven the snakes out of Ireland”, God may be preparing you to drive out some snakes of your own.
