Jeanenne Nichols had introduced me this year to Joan Chittister, a Catholic writer from whom the following statement comes:
We pray
to see life as it is,
to understand it and to
make it better that it was.
We pray so that reality
can break into our souls
and give us back our
awareness of the
Divine Presence in life.
Can the divine presence really be a reality in our lives? Obviously writers like Martin Luther, C. S. Lewis, and Chittister believe it can. May we find it often as we approach December.
