![]() Like all other creatures, we carry with us Wisdom and Values, the dynamics of the Universe. We enter a new mode of human presence where we are not merely observers, but where each of us is a participant in this moment of evolution. We awaken in our time to a Universe which is holy, to creation which is not an event in the past, but a living event of the present. Symeon the New Theologianīack to Top The Spirit of God is Always with Us at This Time, in This Place For if we genuinely love Him, We wake up inside Christ's body Where all our body, all over, every most hidden part of it, is realized in joy as Him, and He makes us, utterly, real, and everything that is hurt, everything that seemed to us dark, harsh, shameful, maimed, ugly, irreparably damaged, is in Him transformed and recognized as whole, as lovely, and radiant in His light he awakens as the Beloved in every last part of our body. Do my words seem blasphemous? Then Open your heart to Him And let yourself receive the one Who is opening to you so deeply. I move my foot, and at once He appears like a flash of lightning. I move my hand, and wonderfully My hand becomes Christ, becomes all of Him (for God is indivisibly Whole, seamless in His Godhood). We awaken in Christ's body As Christ awakens our bodies, And my poor hand is Christ, He enters My foot, and is infinitely me. May my living today reveal your Goodness. When life is overwhelming, call me to Sabbath moments To restore your Peace and Harmony. When it grows difficult, surprise me with New possibilities. As I undertake ordinary and unnoticed tasks, Gift me with simple joy. In moments of challenge and decision Attune my heart to the whisperings of your Wisdom. Teach me when to speak and when to listen When to ponder and when to share. Invite me to discover your presence In each person that I meet And every event that I encounter. Gracious God, Thank you for the gift of today. Send your Spirit to inspire me in time of doubt and indecision so that, together, we can walk along your path. Along with my brothers and sisters, I need this freedom to make my choices today according to your desires. Please free my thinking and feelings and the thinking and feelings of others, from all forms of self-will, self-centeredness, dishonesty, and deception. "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." May these words that he taught us become more than words. I pray just for today, for these twenty-four hours, for the ability to cooperate with others according to the way Jesus taught us to live. If I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. Please help me to be ready for whatever it may be. O God, I find myself at the beginning of another day. > Prayer Card At the Beginning of the Day It is there for each and every one of us. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you May you be confident knowing you are a child of God. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
