Great and Holy Monday as we begin Holy Week and the first Monday of April. The Music Garlic is looking good in this raised bed. The second raised bed did not make it after the harsh freeze earlier last Winter. I am grateful for this one! It's partly cloudy and warming up here in the Carondelet Garden this morning.
As I was reading the Gospel of John this morning I was struck by the idea of prayer. Oftentimes, when I was a younger man, I thought of prayer as a very practiced ideal. You had to have a certain posture and be very serious. It was important to use certain language and be very "prayerful." As I grow older, I'm finding that my prayers are not like that anymore. I now pray through so many different ways as I journey through this life. Several years ago, I was introduced to the idea of "Prayer by walking around." A simple practice of recognizing God in all things. Everywhere you look you can see the hand of God at work. I love the simple, ordinariness of this kind of prayer. As I continue my journey, I'm beginning to realize that prayer can be as simple a touch or a hug, a smile from a stranger, or a simple act of kindness. Prayer in all things. Simple, ordinary prayer. God in all things. God in all! Amen.
