Spiritual Connection

Today’s Reflection

God does not communicate through the senses as before, by means of the discursive analysis and synthesis of ideas, but begins to communicate through pure spirit by an act of simple contemplation.

—St. John of the Cross, The Upper Room Spiritual Classics: Writings of John of the Cross, Edited by Keith Beasley-Topliffe (Upper Room Books, 2017)

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.—John 16:13 (NRSVUE)

Prayer for the Week

O God, I want nothing more than to simply be with you. As I bask in the light of your presence, mold me into Christlikeness so that I can bear your light into the world. Amen.
