We Tap Infinite Love

Good morning…

“I miss Steve’s beautiful words,” she responded after yesterday’s post, Steve Shares Our Strife. “Thank you for sharing his inspirational thoughts here. This reminds me of a little prayer from Richard Rohr, ‘God, help us to love in some small way what you love infinitely.'”

“Such wisdom,” I replied. “We alone cannot muster love, but, in our surrendered state, we can allow God to love through us in infinite ways.”

Might we each live boldly into the prayer blanketing the first faithful followers?

Father, may they clearly know Your will and achieve the height and depth of spiritual wisdom and understanding. May their lives be a credit to You, Lord; and what’s more, may they continue to delight You by doing every good work and growing in the true knowledge that comes from being close to You. Strengthen them with Your infinite power, according to Your glorious might, so that they will have everything they need to hold on and endure hardship patiently and joyfully (Colossians 1:9b-11, VOICE).

P.S. I am pleased to pass along a note from the Development Director at Ignatius House Retreat Center following the ISP retreat for women recovering from homelessness and addiction. Megan writes: “I just want to say a huge thank you for encouraging your followers to donate to Ignatius House to cover the cost of the retreat. I’m so glad you asked about identifying information, as it helps me know why we suddenly got so many gifts! 🙂 As of this writing, 13 women have donated $1,622! Incredible! You have done a wonderful thing!! On behalf of all the women who just left this afternoon GLOWING with the knowledge of God’s love, thank you!”
