Reflection

“The fullness of joy is to behold God in everything.” –Julian of Norwich

Prayer

Joyous Creator,

Heal our eyes so that we may see you again in all things. Like children, dazzled by the simplest of things—rocks, sticks, grandpa’s glasses—may our sight be restored to witness your glory reflected in the world you have made. Heal us especially of the kind of looking that becomes a kind of judging—as if we could so easily measure another person’s value with the speed of a glance. Forgive us, Merciful God, for such reckless acts of judgment. Lead us instead to behold you in the most unlikely places, and especially in those faces we are otherwise prone to overlook. Amen.

Call to Action

How am I training my eyes to look at the world? Take time today and really study something in my world that I take for granted.
