Series on The Practice of the Presence of God (Part 4 of 4)
There’s a lot happening in the world we live in, and nothing much we can do about it. During this difficult time we need to pay attention to the Lord—to be immersed in the mystery of God, his goodness and his mercy.
It’s good to understand what is and what’s not in our circle of influence even though it might be in our own country, group, family or even in our own life. Let’s discern with the Lord, what’s His and whats ours to deal with together. The beauty and grace of it is that we have the freedom to surrender all the things we cannot control, and bring it God. Let’s not fall to the pattern of distraction, discouragement, despair. We need to find a way to encounter the light to push back the darkness. There’s hope to find peace amidst chaos.
You can find the Presence of God challenge in the Hallow app or this link, where you can join in and reflect with Fr. Mark-Mary on The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence.

The Father and The Father Wound
How are you affected by the wounds you had from your earthly Father? St. Francis, a man who bore the wounds of his earthly Father, provides a powerful testament to how these wounds can become a gateway to the heart of God. His journey led him to embrace the heart of the Father through Jesus Christ, a path we can all follow. Let us not forget that Jesus is the bridge to the fatherhood of God. He stands between the Father and our…

That tells us something important, for a man who weeps…
