Rereading Fr Richard's Daily Meditations, I found in a Meditation from August 28, 2018: By including ordinary life, the Hebrew Scriptures include what most of us would call the problem—the negative, the accidental, the sinful—as the precise arena for divine revelation.
Then from August 29th: Imperfection is the pattern that draws forth the Divine Mercy.
I do not doubt those ideas formed my blinding flash that fear is God in camouflage...for it is that fear that so quickly turns us to God.
It is a balm to my troubled heart...no, it is my mind that is nattering, not my heart...to be reinformed of the basis of my today's walking-around beliefs. By walking around, I mean as we breathe, as we chat, as we think, as we live, we are knowing whatever our eyes see, our ears hear, that is God in camouflage, walking us through life as we live it.
Oh my. Just after I wrote that last paragraph, I read: The spiritual journey moves us from recognizing that our group is God’s “chosen people,” even in our imperfection, to knowing that all people—in fact all of Creation—are God’s beloveds and are made in God’s image and are equally imperfect in that reflection.
Fr Richard said it better, but we're proving the same point. Face it, we're on God's ground when we're proving the same point as Fr Richard.
Thank you.
