In today’s Lenten post from SSJE, Br. David asks us to reflect on the following: "How do I stay connected to this source of life and light? What interferes with that connection? What stops the flow of that divine energy and how can I remain in intimate union with Jesus? That connection is the source, the key, the secret, to our fruitfulness.” meetingjesusinjohn.org/2018/01/01/week-5-day-4-made-fruitful-by-love/
One way I stay connected to the source of life and light is by expressing, in concrete terms, gratitude for all the grace-filled moments in my life. I do a pretty good job of this in the morning as I start my day by naming specific things for which I am grateful. But then, as I become immersed in the everydayness of life, I forget God, I forget grace, I forget to be grateful. Saying the Jesus Prayer is one way I reopen the flow of divine energy.
