I was working on a mailing in the parish office one day. I had to collate the pages, fold them, and stuff the envelopes, etc. Boring. My mind began to wander and I was suddenly reminded of the first time that I really understood the idea of work being a prayer.
I was volunteering at the monastery in Pecos, NM, where I had taken vows to become a Benedictine Oblate. I had been assigned to the gift shop, which needed a major reorganization and cleaning. One day I was asked to polish some brass statues of Mary. It was such a beautiful day that I decided to bring them outside and polish them while I sat looking at the beautiful Pecos mountains. As I polished away, I spoke to Mary and Jesus and I prayed. I lovingly polished those statues like there was nothing more important in the world to be doing. I made that task a prayer in itself.
I cannot always be in those beautiful mountains of New Mexico. I cannot always be polishing a statue of Mary. But there is something to be said about living in the present moment. Living in the present moment and paying attention and being aware of what we are doing and offering it all to the Lord.
Living the spiritual life is not always about experiencing spiritual highs or having a mountaintop experience. Living the spiritual life is about living a real life. It is about seeing God where we are. And serving God from where we live. And knowing that we are where we are supposed to be. Well, I think that is holy.
For God is with us wherever we are, doing whatever we do. And stuffing envelopes is as much of a call to service as sitting on top of a mountain. And God is just as present whether we stuff envelopes or fold laundry or polish statues. After all, what had started out as a boring job, became, for me, a special moment of prayer.

Catholic Carnival #213
Check out Catholic Carnival at Sanctus Christopher blog for some great posts. The host of this week's Carnival did a great job, including adding some quotes before each blog's description. Go ahead over and see what you might like to read!
Simple Successes - Lent
Thank you to Danielle Bean at Faith & Family for hosting the Small Successes every Thursday. Here are some of mine.
1. I made a plan for Lent. At first I struggled with it because I put too much on the list. But it had a Benedictine theme which means it needed to be simple. I am not sure if it is simple enough, but I am happy with it. #2 and #3 of this list are right in line with my Lenten plans!
2. It has been hard for me to get silent time but the other day I made the time. I broke away from the church office and went to the chapel to pray. And I took time after dinner to just sit and read.
3. I was very tired on Ash Wednesday. I went to Mass at 7 am and then onto work which was very busy. I was so tired by the end of the day that I skipped Spanish class and came home. I actually put my need for rest first before other things. And I went to bed early!! Miracles never cease.

Lent - Seeking the Face of God
I have really been looking forward to Lent. I have been off balance for awhile and I guess I am hoping this time of renewal will help me find my balance again. I am basically having a Benedictine Lent. The 3 aspects of Benedictine balance - prayer, study and work - are all part of my Lenten plan, all part of the rhythm of the day. By looking at where I was off balance, I could figure out what to do for Lent.Prayer
1. Online Retreat - From Catholics on Call – I have chosen the one called Gaze Upon The Face of Christ.
2. Observe silence daily - an hour, 20 minutes, something.
3. Liturgy of the Hours - I usually pray Morning Prayer - need to add Evening.
4. The study part of the day - I am going to read the Rule of St Benedict daily w/reflections or commentary when I pray Morning or Evening Prayer. This is something I should be doing anyway and hopefully will get back into the habit. Also, I am going to read "The Abbey Up the Hill," by Carol Bonomo, about her first year as a Benedictine Oblate, and how she tries to live the Rule. This sounds like a lot, but I have read the book before. It is not heavy reading and it is an enjoyable way of focusing on the Rule.
Fasting
I am already on a diet so I am depriving myself of chocolate already for other than spiritual reasons! However, there are others kinds of fasting.
1. Fast from ice coffee - This is a new love of mine. I often buy one on my way to work and will miss it terribly!
2. Fast from overwork - Take a break during my day at work, a break every evening from computer stuff. Go to bed early 2-3x a week. This is a hard one for me. I stay up late every night - too late. I do not get enough rest. Rest is an important part of a balanced day and I really just skip that part.
Almsgiving
1. Charity to neighbor - I will keep the specifics private - my right hand does not know what my left hand is doing.
2. Hospitality to others, receiving each person as Christ. This is an important part of Benedictine spirituality and I often fall short.
Keeping in mind that St. Benedict also taught about moderation and simplicity, I had to keep trimming my lists because they got too long!! And too complicated. I tend to try to do too much. I had to keep telling myself, Keep it simple!
What are you doing for Lent? What parts of your life are off balance?

Knowing God by Heart
Love takes up where knowledge leaves off. - St. Thomas Aquinas
A priest once told me that one of the most difficult journeys for people to make in the spiritual life is the journey from the head to the heart. I remember when I first converted to the Catholic Church. I was so hungry for knowledge of my new faith. I repeated another year of RCIA because I wanted to be sure I hadn't missed anything the first time. And then I took a correspondence course in Catholicism to learn even more. It was like I was starving. I couldn't get enough knowledge.That hunger was important because it helped me to learn and know my faith. And it still is important. We can never know it all. And how can we defend our faith and explain our beliefs if we do not understand them?
But there is a difference between knowing about God and knowing God. We can know someone's birthday, for example, but do we know their heart's desire? One can get stuck in the head knowledge and fail to make that connection to the heart. For some of us it really is a long and difficult journey. Especially for people like me who tend to fear intimacy. However, these days I really do yearn more for the intimate relationship with God, the heart knowledge.
I yearn to know God's heart.

God in Front of My Eyes
God-incidence?
I wrote recently about hearing the call from God to keep my gaze on the face of God. I read this quote yesterday:
The first step of humility is to have a constant reverence for God in front of our eyes. – St. Benedict
Ok, Lord, I am listening.

Thankful Thursday - An Attitude of Gratitude
Truth 4 the Journey hosts Thankful Thursdays again this week. So here is my list of “thankful things”. I offer them all to God.
1. I am thankful for my health. Even though I have been fighting that cold that everyone seems to be getting this year that hangs on forever and ever. Well, a slight exaggeration. But it comes back over and over, which is no exaggeration. Today I am feeling better and that is all I can hope for, live in the moment and feel better.
2. I am thankful for my husband. He is so thoughtful. Last Saturday was Valentine’s Day. We do not usually make a big deal out of that day but this year my husband suggested we go to our favorite restaurant. We had a wonderful time. I may keep my hubby around for another 30 years.
3. I am thankful for sunsets. I love sunsets. Sunsets here in SW Florida, especially on the beach, are spectacular. I think of them as God putting on a light show for us. I wonder how many people miss seeing them.
4. I am thankful for days like one I had last week. My son and his family came to visit us. It was a spontaneous kind of thing and we had such a great time just hanging out together.
5. I am thankful for Thankful Thursdays so that I am reminded to thank God for all my blessings. An attitude of gratitude can make all the difference sometimes.

Benedictine Balance
I have been whining long enough about the lack of balance in my life. This is something I obviously need to work on and with Lent right around the corner, this seems to be the time.
As a Benedictine Oblate, I have a rule of life to live by, but I seemed to have strayed away from an important part of it. In his Rule, St. Benedict put utmost importance on balance. After all, the monastery runs better when there is order and harmony. But he is also talking about an inner harmony.
For Benedictines, it involves 3 key elements:
1. Prayer – The liturgy of the word (St. Benedict called it the work of God)
2. Work
3. Study – spiritual reading or lectio divina
During Lent I will use these 3 points to guide me on my Lenten journey.
St. Benedict also taught moderation in all things. I tend to overdo sometimes and will need to take “inventory” on what is happening in my life, within and without. I will post weekly about how I am doing as that will hopefully keep me focused.
And of course, I must remember, that I need to keep my gaze on Jesus.

The Face of God
I have been drawn to this phrase or related phrases for days now – Seek the Face of God. Sometimes it is – Gaze on the face of God. Or “Set your mind on God’s kingdom” (Matthew 6:33).
Last week I received a used book that I had bought online that was signed by the author with this phrase “Fix your gaze on Jesus, Heb. 3:1.” (The NAB translation of Hebrews 3:1 includes the phrase – reflect on Jesus.)
The other day I am surfing the web looking for an online retreat that I can do for Lent and I came across this website, Catholics On Call. It listed a few online retreats. The very last one is called “Gazing on The Face of Christ.”
I guess I know what retreat I am supposed to do.
I have been praying for help. I have felt so discombobulated lately. My prayer life seems in disarray. I have surely lost the Benedictine balance in my life.
So God has reminded me of something I already knew: Keep Jesus first in your life. Gaze on the face of Christ.
Sometimes we know the answer but we just need to be reminded.

Simple Successes
Thanks goes to Danielle Bean who is hosting this series of Small Successes.1. My prayer life has been such a struggle lately. I got up 10 minutes earlier everyday this week so I could start my day with prayer beore I get involved in something. It has really helped me get through the day with my long to-do list.
2. I have always prided myself on being an organized person but I have not been very organized lately. I have become humbled by this experience and have to had to learn to organize myself more. With some effort and learning to let go of some things, I am feeling less scattered and discombobulated.
3. I tend to stay up too late and not get enough sleep. I have struggled with this for years. This week, along with organizing myself and taking time for prayer, I have also worked hard on getting more sleep. I continue to struggle but this week, I did well with getting to bed at a decent hour.

Happiness Is
Lately I have been posting on Twitter about Happiness and what it is to me. Decided to blog it now. I am wondering what God has in store for me. He is certainly revealing all the reasons I have to be happy. Here are just a few:
Happiness is knowing God loves me. Happiness is knowing God.
Happiness is going to Mass. Happiness is having the opportunity to go to Mass everyday.
Happiness is having time to pray. Happiness is making time to pray - everyday.
Happiness is loving God. Happiness is sharing my love of God with others.

Monday Musings
Room to ramble
Had a quiet and peaceful weekend. I needed that. Been way too busy and not enough time at home. I like being home.
What I am reading
I am reading Izzy & Lenore by Jon Katz. I love his books about his life with his dogs. He won me over in his book, Running to the Mountain, because he talked about reading Thomas Merton. I love dogs and I love Merton.
The Scripture in my heart
"And, over all these, put on love …” Colossians 3:14
Can’t get this verse out of my head. The verse moves me. We need to put Love first. I would like to think I do that, but do I really? How many times have I thought of myself first? Is this scripture been given to me because I need to know something? And what does it mean to "put on" Love? I need to ponder.
A favorite thing
I hate to admit it but I love my itouch. I have the daily Bible readings on there and reflections to listen to. And wonderful Christian music that I would probably never get a chance to listen to otherwise. I can use it to blog, to twitter and to check my email!! And to translate Spanish! And to keep track of my weight watcher points!! I hope my itouch keeps my life more organized and therefore more simplified. Technology can be used for good. As long as we don't get too attached!! And that is something I know I have to guard against.
For the rest of the week
Busy week at work. Spanish class. Spirtual direction appointments. Friday hubby taking me out to one of our favorite places for Valentine's Day!! (couldn't go on Saturday). Cannot wait! Hope your week goes well. God bless.

The Eye of the Beholder
President Obama said at the National Prayer Breakfast that there is no God who condones the taking of an innocent human life. Huh? I am confused. If he believes that, then why is he pro-choice? Just what does he think abortion is? Is that not a taking of an innocent human life? Has he fooled himself into thinking that an unborn baby is not an innocent human life?
I had a miscarriage once. I was 12 weeks pregnant. I was devastated and mourned that baby for a long time. I still talk to her. I still miss her. I still love her.
How can that baby be real to me and "a piece of tissue" to someone else? Is it all in the eyes of the beholder?
In the case of life, isn’t God the only real Beholder?

7 Quick Takes Friday
Be sure to visit Jen at Conversiondiary for the rest of the Friday Quicktakes.
1. An attitude of gratitude. I am doing my best to cultivate that attitude. The more grateful I am, the less complaining I do!! Makes sense right?
2. Lent is only 3 weeks away. I need to start thinking about what I am going to do for Lent. Why is it that I always start out Lent with such fervor and high expectations and before I know it I just slide back into a normal kind of routine? Part of the problem is I try to do too much, to fit everything I can into Lent. I pick out various prayer books and devotionals and before I know it I am reading out of 3 or 4 of them and that gets tiresome pretty quick. Maybe I need to keep it simple. Stop trying to be so perfect. Stop trying to do everything.
3. My cold is now going into its 4th week. I would be worried except this seems to be the new virus this year. Everyone I know is going through the same thing. So I grin and bear it and take naps and devour cough drops.
4. Working on my email newsletter, Prayerful Morsels. It is due today. I always wait to the last minute to get it done. Every time I tell myself I will start earlier. But I don’t. I have never been a procrastinator before but I am becoming one now. Gee, does that mean I procrastinated on becoming a procrastinator?
5. My hubby and I are starting a diet again. I have spent more than half of my life on a diet. Part of the problem is that I turn to food for comfort. Especially chocolate.
6. I love books. I have loved books my whole life. I practically lived in the library when I was a little girl. Books gave me an escape. Books gave me hope. Books are such a gift.
7. I am going to Adoration tonight at 2 am. I am looking forward to it so much. Some peaceful silent time with Jesus. It has been about a month which is just too long. I need to spend this quality time with Jesus. Thank you Lord for the gift of yourself. Sigh. God is good.

Thankful Thursday
Truth 4 the Journey hosts Thankful Thursdays again this week. So here is my list of “thankful things”. I offer them all to God.
1. I am thankful for cold weather. I live in Florida and let’s face it, we do not get much cold weather. So when we do, it is a treat – at least for me it is. I love being able to wear sweaters and jackets and to be all snuggled up in a warm bed while I hear the wind outside. Call me weird, but I am thankful for the cold weather.
2. I am thankful for my singing bowl. That is right. A singing bowl. A Tibetan singing bowl. I first saw one being used at a Benedictine Monastery. They make beautiful music when hit with a little hammer that comes with it. It is a great way to start and end a period of silence for prayer and meditation. It is a favorite thing because I like the pretty sound and I like that each bowl is unique with its own sound. Like people.
3. I am thankful for friends. We had 2 “couple friends” appear out of the blue this week from up north. Both came down for a kind of surprise visit. They don’t even know each other but they picked the same time to come down. (Probably looking for warm weather. Oh-oh.) We had dinner with one couple and breakfast with another. We broke bread with our friends. What a blessing!!
4. I am thankful for books. I love to read. I have loved reading since I was a little girl. I spent many an hour in the public library. I remember being so afraid that I would run out of books to read!! These days I do not seem to have enough time. I need to make the time. What a blessing to be able to read!
5. I am thankful for laughter. I am so thankful for my husband who makes me laugh so often. What a gift. And so healing. I love to laugh.

God is Life
St. John Damascene – "It is more necessary to call on the name of God than it is to breathe."
This quote could be pondered for a long time. Suffice it to say, I have been pondering it for quite a while since I first read it. And I have no words of wisdom. Just the gut feeling that this is a quote I need to place in my heart to stay.
I could say that we can only breathe because God exists and wants us to exist.
I could say that calling on God is more important than life itself. God is life. God gives life. God is the source of all life.
I could say all of that. But I am not sure it is enough. Or that it even begins to be enough.
And so I won’t say any of that. I will just pray instead.
Lord, help me to call on your name everyday, all day, constantly. Help me to remember that you are my Everything. You are my All. You mean more to me than life itself. Amen.
