Weekly Reflection on the Spirit of the Sacred Heart - 9.23.2011

Weekly Reflection on the Spirit of the Sacred Heart September 23, 2011

With God go forth, hold your divining rod, Hope for those springs, desire and love them. They do exist in those you meet! Who but you will detect, divine them, And help them come to light?   excerpt of a prayer written by  Agnès Bigo, rscj, Province of Belgium-France-Netherlands (full text of this prayer may be found here: http://www.rscjinternational.org/en/spirituality/seasons-of-prayer-publicmenu-37/119-intros/3095-france-lent-qour-well-springs-are-in-youq.html)

For Reflection...    As divinity dwells in each of us, so it dwells in those around us. In those inevitable encounters with difficult situations and with difficult people, how am I guided by God's spirit rather than self will? If the shepherds could see a God incarnate in a child, I can see God incarnate in my brother and sister. (Ana María Gallart rscj, Province of Argentina-Uruguay)    The full text of Sister Gallart's poem may be found here:     http://www.rscjinternational.org/en/spirituality/creative-space-publicmenu-35/3036-argentina-poem-by-ana-maria-gallart-rscj.html      (Image from: Annet Hanrahan, rscj Australia-New Zealand; Found at: http://www.rscjinternational.org/en/spirituality/seasons-of-prayer-publicmenu-37/119-intros/3095-france-lent-qour-well-springs-are-in-youq.html)
