Presence
To be present is to arrive as one is and open up to the other.
At this instant, as I arrive here, God is present waiting for me.
God always arrives before me, desiring to connect with me
even more than my most intimate friend.
I take a moment and greet my loving God.

Consciousness
Where
do I sense hope, encouragement, and growth areas in my life? By looking
back over the last few months, I may be able to see which activities
and occasions have produced rich fruit. If I do notice such areas, I
will determine to give those areas both time and space in the future.
The Word of God
Matthew 14:13-21
Now
when Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist, he withdrew from
there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds
heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he went ashore,
he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their
sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a
deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that
they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves." Jesus said
to them, "They need not go away; you give them something to eat." They
replied, "We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish." And he
said, "Bring them here to me." Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on
the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to
heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the
disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and
were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces,
twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand men,
besides women and children.
Conversation
How has God's Word moved me? Has it left me cold?
Has it consoled me or moved me to act in a new way?
I imagine Jesus standing or sitting beside me,
I turn and share my feelings with him.

Conclusion
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be,
world without end.
