may God grant me the grace of a living faith that values both reflection and action, relevant and responsive to the signs of the times. amen. (“,)

"faith is not a noun. faith is a verb. what this means is that, when our faith is static or sterile, it is in fact not faith at all… recognize the active nature of our faith.

faith is a gift that is given to us. but we need to mix and plant this faith in our everyday lives and in the lives of our neighbors and community. in other words, we could substitute ‘faith’ for ‘love’ in st. ignatius’ famous quote: ‘faith ought to show itself more in deeds than in words.’”

make God grant me the grace of companionship that i may accompany those that need my presence the most and that i may allow others in turn to share in my life journey. amen. (“,)

when i think about my own relationship with God and how i’m doing on my journey of faith and daily/weekly practice, i often focus on what i’m not doing or what virtues i’m sorely lacking. although i know intellectually that we are interdependent and that this interdependence transcends our own time and place, my self-reflection does not often include this communal element.

by moving my reflection to include the reality of this life and journey as one that is for, with, and alongside others more fully, i am better able to overcome my own sinfulness and unworthiness. it’s the women i reflect and pray with each sunday night via skype who teach me that together we are more than we might be individually. it’s the people from my children’s school and our parish who teach me the power of community. it’s my colleagues from different faith traditions and disciplines on mission together to serve students who teach me how to cross boundaries.”

may God grant me the grace of genuine surrender that i may walk the world with ignatian indifference.

#quote #ignatian #reflection #examen #grace #ilaw #will #surrender #indifference

"God actually uses prayer to change you. so when you pray ‘thy will be done,’ you are transformed. but, if you stopped there, you would be leaving out half the story. prayer is both about asking and surrendering. think of the concepts ‘ask and you shall receive’ and ‘thy will be done’ as bookends to prayer. most people either focus on ‘ask’ with little thought of surrendering to his will, or they resign themselves with ‘thy will be done’ and seldom ask at all.

in a remarkable paradox, God doesn’t want either extreme–always asking or always submitting. what He wants is a dynamic mixture of the two. today ask God for anything. and remember ‘not to lose heart’.”

"the most fundamental message: know God’s love for you is absolute and unconditional, and share this love with every person in your life, especially the poor and outcast.

this needs to be our unrelenting focus. even our thinking and doctrine about such things as sexuality and marriage cannot trump the fundamental message of love and outreach to the poor and outcast.

so, i feel it necessary to ask myself, what are the things I pay great attention to, which are simply not that important? how am i going to get back to the most fundamental message?”

"we are utterly dependent on God, who works through everyday channels of grace to provide us everything we need. this realization contains a challenge.

God’s gifts come to us everyday in large and small ways; we are rightly grateful for them, but do they strengthen our faith? and when we give God thanks, do we give glory as well? do we see in God’s gifts a reminder of our dependence and his care for us?

more importantly, as we spread our own gifts and talents into the world, do we do so for God’s glory or our own? God has given us all abilities that save and uphold our brothers and sisters. when people thank us for our work, do we remember to give God the glory? do we encourage them to do the same?”
