Reflection

“The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it.” –Henri Nouwen

Prayer

Creator of all,

Where did we get the idea that being spiritual somehow means being other-worldly? Free us from believing that the spiritual path leads us away from the concrete realities around us. Instead we ask you lead us more fully into that fruitful intersection, where our spiritual lives are fed and nourished by serving the material needs we see all around us. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to practice gratitude for the significance of my work. Everything I do, even the most mundane task, can serve a purpose bigger than myself.
