I have been reading Pope Benedict XVI book “Meditation for Every Day” as my daily Lenten guide this year and yesterday’s reflection was about how our Lord thirst for our faith. He allows and gives us many instances to encounter Him.
As I think back to all the days that my life seems to be so busy with work, service, family and relationship. I keep asking myself – have I fully encountered Christ in my daily life? Have I allowed the Lord to be part of my daily decision makings? And did I even encounter Jesus today? I came to the realization that I still have a long way to go and that encountering the Lord in my life means allowing time with Jesus and to let Christ reveal his great mystery everyday and be sensitive to his presence. By reaching out to him and opening the doors of faith in me and to never tire to give the Lord my all.
Dear Lord, help me to recognize you and encounter you every day. – Love, Vanessa
