Today’s find: Easter people

Admittedly, I haven’t had much of chance to get to know the new Pope, but he’s already starting to grow on me. He seems like ‘Easter people’.

Today’s find: Empty and beautiful, empty and inviting

I love the way the church building at my parish looks on Holy Saturday morning.

Today’s find: Hidden treasure

On Good Friday, the Jesuits of Great Britain invite us to consider Jesus, on the cross, his divinity hidden from our eyes.

Today’s find: All in

Sometimes I can be pretty thick-headed – a tick slow on the uptake.

Today’s find: A pilgrim’s progress

My heart is full on this final day of Lent in 2013. I am overwhelmed by the abundance of ‘found’ spiritual gifts that have been showered on me over the past six weeks. I am humbled, too, by the outpouring of support (both ‘real’ and ‘virtual’) I have received because of this blog.

Today’s find: Giving it away

Some of the holiest people I know are those who have encountered Christ through the 12 Steps. (Or more accurately, those who have encountered a Power greater than themselves in and through their programs.)

Among the other holiest people I know on earth are those I have met ‘inside the joint’ through Kairos Prison Ministry in recent years.

Both groups are on my mind and in my heart today.

Today’s find: Taking my rubbish to the curb…

It was a gorgeous day in the St. Louis area Saturday – had that ‘first day of spring’ kind of feel to it. Bright sunshine, balmy temperatures. The perfect day to do that deep pruning on the landscaping out front.

Today’s find: My rock. My cave.

One of the great recent blessings in my life was the chance to spend a little time in the desert southwest. We call it our ‘Grand Canyon’ vacation. But in truth, a side trip to Monument Valley in southern Utah was my favorite stop along the way.
