Suffering With Joy

Sabbath Moments

August 21, 2010

Every Saturday Colleen at Thoughts on Grace hosts the Sabbath Moments meme where we share with each other the times during the week when we were with God in our hearts and souls - sometimes quietly, sometimes with an exterior activity while interiorly united with Him. Sabbath Moments are an important part of my wellness program both spiritually and physically.

1.  We had a day trip into St. Louis this week for my husband’s doctor appointment.  He drove, which allowed me to catch up on reading articles from Latin Mass Magazine, one of my favorite publications.  I had many hours going and coming to meditate on the good points writers made about the Faith, Church history, the saints, and Catholic tradition.  It was almost like being able to make a one-day retreat.

2.  In my encounter with a young disabled girl this week which I wrote about in A Real God-incidence, I was profoundly aware of the presence of God.  The spirit of Christ emanated from her and I could see what a great blessing she is to her parents and all who meet her.  All this in the middle of a therapy pool!   You never know when God is going to surprise you with a special gift of His presence hidden in the ordinary.

V.  Praised be Jesus Christ.

R. Now and forever.  Amen.

   Great sabbath moments! I love how you took the time in the car to have a “retreat.” And your God incidence was beautiful. Thanks for joining me every week!
