Fr. Paul's Spiritual Reflection

fr paul's blog

4/1/2019

 
We have to do all we can to preserve the inner silence that brings peace to our souls.  If we really want to follow the Lord we will thirst for the water that Jesus wants to give us.  Knowing and loving God is something that demands time and attention.  Whatever is going on outwardly in our life, He wishes to pour into us the fullness of His peace.  When we are still and at peace there comes the bliss of something that cannot be put into words.  Life for many is stressful and busy.  In that case, each evening before going to sleep, examine your conscience and see how much you can change by God's grace.  Do not put things off , for the cycle of entanglements will continue.  A calm and reflective self-examination will help us deal with attachments to the world, the flesh and the devil.  When you are eating, eat.  When you are going for a walk, walk.  Don't say "I must be doing something else".  What is important is not so much what we are doing but whether we give our calm and unhurried attention to it.  For the eternity of God in this life is Now, in the present moment.  That is all we have, For all is His gift.
