I am hoping to write short (and I promise, short!) meditations on the daily Mass readings and to share them for whoever is interested. Hopefully they will help you to enter more deeply into the beauty of Scripture, into prayer, and into encounter with the Lord. I’ll try to add them by the evening before the proper day.

If I get enough response, I may start an email list so you can get them in your inbox, but for now they can be found at the page “Meditations on the Daily Readings” on my website.

Here is the first:

Thursday of the 3rd Week in Ordinary Time


Joshua

I know that your heart yearns, little one, to create something beautiful, a testament of love, a reflection, in the dimness of this world, of the radiant beauty of my own eternal light. I know the longing within to give birth without, the desire to create, sharing in eternal creativity. I want you to know, beloved, and to feel that the greatest masterpiece which I desire for you is the unspeakable beauty which is you yourself. You, the one whom I infinitely love, are the icon, transparent to my shining glory, enfolded in my grace, a blaze of fiery light bursting through the eyes, a figure whose countenance, whose heart, whose life is a reflection of the life, the heart, the face which is my own.
