Reflection on the Spirit of the Sacred Heart July 20, 2012

To the season of Summer, God said: 'To you I will give the gift of growth. You shall live twixt Spring and Autumn. You shall inherit the gift of Spring as well as touch the gift of Autumn. You, with your gift of growth, shall be the bridge between life and death... And God smiled and saw that it was (all) good.

For Reflection...      Lord, God, You come into our lives from beginning to end: in the dawn of anticipation; in the morning as life unfolds; in the noon days of growth, with success and failure, fear and comfort; in the twilight of harvesting with joy. Help us to be attentive to Your presence, and your gifted-ness at each 'season of our life' so that we respond generously and build your Kingdom of love. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
