Some
Thoughts
As
we prepare for the Eucharist these days, we would profit from
the opportunities to be reminded. The Eucharist itself is
both a reminder of a past event and a presentation in time
of something on-going in our now.
We can look at a tree and
imagine and pray with the tree looking back at us. We can
pray with the little gifts in our houses and rooms as reminders
also of the past-made-present by the recalling of the givers
and the love they still re-present in the now.
Staying awake, alert
to the giftedness of time, of the past, and present is as
difficult as staying wide-eyed all the time. We do need to
wake up and maybe that is our way of preparing for the reception
of his best gift once and for all times.
