Thought for the day...

Last night was the first night spent in our new home. This morning I sat outside as the sun was coming up and I was rewarded with a beautiful dawn that broke softly over the east valley and the mountains beyond.

Recitation of the Canticle of Zechariah took special meaning in the half light of daybreak:

In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

What a wonderful place we find ourselves in when we allow the Lord to guide our feet into the way of peace.

From St. Colm Cille

Here is the thought that has stayed with me today:

“Such a soul seeks the fountain of eternal life and drinks from it, although it continues to thirst and its thirst grows ever greater even as it drinks. Therefore, the more the soul loves, the more it desires to love…”

After years of trying to quench a thirst that could not be quenched, pursuing a relationship with a loving God has proven to be where hope is found.
