loving lupita sacred ordinary

 

 

 

we seldom notice how each day is a holy place

where the eucharist of the ordinary happens,

transforming our broken fragments

into an eternal continuity that keeps us.

 

 

somewhere in us a dignity presides

that is more gracious than the smallness

that fuels us with fear and force,

a dignity that trusts the form a day takes.

 

 

so at the end of this day, we give thanks

for being betrothed to the unknown

and for the secret work

through which the mind of the day

and the wisdom of the soul become one.

I'm praying to notice the holiness of today--even if it is Sunday! ;)

Loving Lupita.
Every day sacred.

I just love these words of John O'Donahue : 'betrothed to the unknown'

[Lenora]

Abundance, unfailing faith, trust, compassion joy - to stand firm and calm amidst the colourful whirlwind of life.. to know peace

Wasn't John O'Donahue just the best? How divine that his words live on.

How wish I had the gift to write like that! But, I am glad that others can. So perfectly said.

As you know, John O'Donohue's work is very sacred to me so I was delighted to see it accompanying your primitive and beautiful Mary. I assume it is from San Miguel? And I am deeply drawn to the sacred ordinary concept. It is the name of my blog.

My moments are holy when I visit here... They fill my heart... fill me in extraordinary, but simple ways...
