A Miracle Morning
“In her poem "Aurora Leigh," Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote:
Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees, takes off his shoes, The rest sit
round it and pluck blackberries.
I have certainly plucked my share of blackberries, blind to what wonder there is in life. But on occasion I have also had my eyes
opened by others, a bit more sensitive and aware. I cherish those moments and recall them when life gets too routine and ordi-
nary. I'll never forget one such moment.
I stumbled out the door of a mountain cabin where I was spending the weekend working with youth and their families at a rustic
retreat center. I had a 6:30 a.m. appointment to keep and squinted from the early autumn sun peeking over pine-blanketed moun-
taintops.
"Today is a miracle!" spoke a young, enthusiastic voice behind me. I turned toward the radiant face of my teen-aged friend.
"How?" I asked her. I wasn't sure if I could handle any excitement this early in the morning.
"Think about it," she smiled. "The sun rose, didn't it?"
"Yeah." I found it easy to hide any enthusiasm. It seemed to rise on every other morning without any help from me.
"That's a miracle! It is miraculous that the earth turns as it does. At night, the sun goes down and in the morning it rises. It just hap-
pens!"
I pretty much had this figured out years ago, I thought, as I rubbed sleep from my eyes. I was also busy thinking about how to get a
cup of coffee.
"And look at the mountains! Covered with trees and grass, they
look so beautiful. And there," she pointed, "a valley. It's all a
miracle!"
"What have I stumbled into?" I thought. "And where is the cof-
fee?"
"Wildflowers blooming," she continued. "It all smells so fresh
and clean and so good." She took a deep breath. Her blue eyes
sparkled. "All of nature receives water and light. Things grow
and blossom -- it is all so beautiful."
Maybe it wasn't coffee I needed...but whatever she had gotten
into! I didn't know if it was her bubbly personality or the fresh-
ness of the morning, but I began to sense her enchantment
with the daybreak. A little, anyway. Somehow, she had me be-
lieving that the day did hold a certain magic.
Then, with a smile that seemed to make her blonde curls
laugh, she gave her pronouncement a note of finality. "And
best of all, it will happen again tomorrow. And the next day!
And the next!" She sighed. "It's a miracle morning!"
My young friend showed wisdom beyond her years. For her,
earth was "crammed with heaven" and "every bush afire." She
should never want for happiness, for she had already learned,
at such an early age, to find wonder in the commonplace and
to feel gratitude for the ordinary. If each day for her is a mira-
cle, then a lifetime will be no less than a marvelous extrava-
ganza!

Act of Spiritual Communion
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I
love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my
soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramental-
ly, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if
You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never
permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
My Jesus,
for July 2021
We pray that, in social, economic and political situations of
conflict, we may be courageous and passionate architects
of dialogue and friendship.
The author of The Cloud of Unknowing prays, “That which I am
and the way that I am, with all my gifts of nature and grace,
you have given to me, O Lord, and you are all this. I offer it all
to you, principally to praise you and to help my fellow Chris-
tians and myself.” Knowing that God sustains us in being is
the key to faith. All that we need to do is to love God as God is
and the rest will begin to fall into place. God made us in His
image and desires that we have life. God also desires that we
be healed of all of our wounds, especially those caused by sin,
and know his loving touch. Being weighed down by negativity,
imperfections, the cares of the world, and weakness is not
something that God desires.
Faith can profoundly change how we see God, ourselves, and
one another. It gives a clearer lens through which to see life
and connects us with the powerful virtues of love and hope.
Three friends journeying with us through all that we encounter,
faith, hope, and love, help us experience God’s embrace and
heal us. All we have to do is let God be who God is and not
foolishly try to make Him into what we need or want Him to be.
Without God we cease to be. It’s that simple. The very blood
that flows through my veins and the life that I have come di-
rectly from Divine origins. With this knowledge of who God is
and who I am, I can open my ears and hear the powerful words
Jesus speaks, “Do not be afraid, just have faith.” Trust begins.
When we are struggling, we naturally reach out for God be-
cause we know that a divine remedy is the only remedy. But, in
doing so we wrestle with letting God take charge. We want
something more miraculous and visible than the obvious and
have difficulty in finding consolation simply resting in God’s
presence. Our naked being, stripped of any pretense or self-
serving agenda, is being called to rest in and love the uncreat-
ed Presence of God. Reach out in love to God. Ask God to heal
you from all that separates you from Him. Put aside any ideas
of God that create barriers between you and God’s tender and
endearing presence. The Cloud of Unknowing leaves us with
wisdom, “think of yourself and of him in the same way, that is,
with the simple awareness that he is as he is and that you are
as you are.” This is a meeting of two friends who desire noth-
ing more than to share life together. LPi
Kindness is...good for the heart—in
more ways than one. When we’re kind
we inspire others to do the same, creat-
ing a ripple effect of good deeds. Kind-
ness also slows aging by reducing levels
of free radicals (like anti-oxidants) in the
cardiovascular system. So, increase everyone’s well-being
by taking a moment to do something kind!

Act of Spiritual Communion
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I
love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my
soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramental-
ly, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if
You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never
permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
My Jesus,
for July 2021
We pray that, in social, economic and political situations of
conflict, we may be courageous and passionate architects
of dialogue and friendship.
The author of The Cloud of Unknowing prays, “That which I am
and the way that I am, with all my gifts of nature and grace,
you have given to me, O Lord, and you are all this. I offer it all
to you, principally to praise you and to help my fellow Chris-
tians and myself.” Knowing that God sustains us in being is
the key to faith. All that we need to do is to love God as God is
and the rest will begin to fall into place. God made us in His
image and desires that we have life. God also desires that we
be healed of all of our wounds, especially those caused by sin,
and know his loving touch. Being weighed down by negativity,
imperfections, the cares of the world, and weakness is not
something that God desires.
Faith can profoundly change how we see God, ourselves, and
one another. It gives a clearer lens through which to see life
and connects us with the powerful virtues of love and hope.
Three friends journeying with us through all that we encounter,
faith, hope, and love, help us experience God’s embrace and
heal us. All we have to do is let God be who God is and not
foolishly try to make Him into what we need or want Him to be.
Without God we cease to be. It’s that simple. The very blood
that flows through my veins and the life that I have come di-
rectly from Divine origins. With this knowledge of who God is
and who I am, I can open my ears and hear the powerful words
Jesus speaks, “Do not be afraid, just have faith.” Trust begins.
When we are struggling, we naturally reach out for God be-
cause we know that a divine remedy is the only remedy. But, in
doing so we wrestle with letting God take charge. We want
something more miraculous and visible than the obvious and
have difficulty in finding consolation simply resting in God’s
presence. Our naked being, stripped of any pretense or self-
serving agenda, is being called to rest in and love the uncreat-
ed Presence of God. Reach out in love to God. Ask God to heal
you from all that separates you from Him. Put aside any ideas
of God that create barriers between you and God’s tender and
endearing presence. The Cloud of Unknowing leaves us with
wisdom, “think of yourself and of him in the same way, that is,
with the simple awareness that he is as he is and that you are
as you are.” This is a meeting of two friends who desire noth-
ing more than to share life together. LPi
Kindness is...good for the heart—in
more ways than one. When we’re kind
we inspire others to do the same, creat-
ing a ripple effect of good deeds. Kind-
ness also slows aging by reducing levels
of free radicals (like anti-oxidants) in the
cardiovascular system. So, increase everyone’s well-being
by taking a moment to do something kind!
