Think!

"Abandonment, rightly understood, includes everything. It requires a great humility, since it is submission of ourselves to creatures and events, seeing Jesus himself in them. It requires an immense faith, confidence every moment, to tear open the veil of secondary causes, to break through the screen of creatures which too often prevents us from seeing Jesus behind them, who governs everything, since nothing- nothing- happens without His having willed or permitted it."

- Father John C. J. d' Elbee I Believe in Love

I've been realizing lately the intense amount of concentration- and contemplation- needed for one to live well. To be a true Christian every part of you must cry out to God- not just your mind and heart- but your body- and your very soul. I always think about how Paul tells us to greet each other with "psalms and hymns and spiritual songs"- why don't we do that? Loving God is something that you do with all of yourself- but we constantly have to slap ourselves back into reality every time we get distracted- which is pretty much 23 hours a day. Jesus is everywhere we just need to ask- beg- for the grace to see him everywhere- which will start our minds thinking about seeing him everywhere and help break through the wall of distraction for 30 seconds. Think! Love! See!
