A glimpse of Reality...
“Thus, will it be for
the one who stores up treasures for himself but is not rich in
what matters to God.”
(Lk. 12:21)
I used to think that
in order to be justified in God’s eyes and earn my heavenly reward
all I needed to do was bombard God with a lot of prayers,
mortification, and other rituals that would earn me a lot of
indulgences. However, in today’s gospel, the words that matter to
God made me think that this alone could not be what matters to
God. And as I pondered more on these words and listened in my
heart, I heard that it is only love that matters to Him. And that
love should always blossom into service. Love and service
to my fellowmen and more, in particular, to my family who should
always be my immediate concern.
Thank you, Lord, for
opening my eyes to the reality of love.

“The union (with God)
established during prayer has to be integrated with the rest of
reality. The presence of God should become a kind of fourth
dimension to all of life. Our three-dimensional world is not the
real world because the most important dimension is missing;
namely, that from which everything that exists is emerging and
returning in each nano second of time.”
(from Open Mind Open
Heart, p. 70)
