Presence

St. Ignatius was unaware of his spiritual self for the first thirty years of life. His conversion was an awakening to his authentic character. As he awakened, he exclaimed: “What is this new life we are living?” Indeed, it was a new life because he was beginning to glimpse life-as-a-whole. We are all called to conversion and awakening as was St. Ignatius. It is imperative that we awaken, for God lives and is present to us in the eternal now. Today is the time to wake from sleep (Rom. 13.11). We can find God and Love only in the present moment. Let the awesomeness of this truth create wonder in your heart. Ponder its meaning. Give thanks.
 
 

Let the words of my mouth and the thought of my heart
find favor before you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

(Psalm 19:15)
