Poor in Spirit, Rich in Presence

To live without recognition, without thought, of the past or the future is to be “poor in spirt” because the present is un-ownable, always being lost. Our only riches exist in some future anticipation or some past memory.

The more fully we live in the present, the more we are blessed. So don’t be afraid to let go of your worries or regrets.

You’re afraid because you fear poverty, but poverty is where you will find grace.

To always live like this seems impossible. But to pray like this, and to pray often, is possible, good, meaningful, healthy.
