The Flowing Grace of Now

Macrina Wiederkehr has book, The Flowing Grace of Now: Encountering Wisdom Through the Weeks of the Year. I mentioned it here before, but I am finally using it sometimes in my afternoon hour of prayer. Yesterday I was struck by Week Two which told me to read Colossians 1:24-29 and claim the power of Christ's energy in you. In her reflection on the reading, she says: "The fire of Christ burns on in me, yet I forget to sit by the fireplace. I forget to blow on the embers and fan the flame."

I am going to sit by the fireplace and contemplate Christ's energy in me.
