Greetings to all!
This Sunday, March 2, marks the beginning of our spring 2014 season of
Exploring Our Spirituality. This season's exploration is titled, "Traveling
Your Road to Joy," beginning with an opportunity to discover joy in the
present moment. Consider this selection from Thomas Merton.
The grip the present has on me. That is the one thing that has grown
most noticeably in my spiritual life - nothing much else has ... This time
is given to me by God that I may live in it. It is not given to make something
out of it but given me to be stored away in eternity as my own. For this
afternoon to be my own in eternity, it must be my own this afternoon,
and I must possess myself in it, not be possessed by books, by ideas
not my own, by a compulsion to produce what nobody needs. But
simply to glorify God by accepting His gift and His work. To work for
Him is to work that I myself may live.
(from A Search for Solitude as found in Traveling Your Road to Joy)
