To those who are paying prayerful attention, God shows himself. Where will you see him today?

[I resolve] . . . to search for the Face of God not only in prayer but in having no other intention in my work, words, or sufferings.  

~~Mother Veronica Namoyo

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Picture the homeless traveler. His clothes are dirty and he wears no shoes. Is it possible to se God in him? Yes. Jesus looked that way at times.

Visualize a frowning boss, holding out unreasonable demands. Is it possible to see God in this situation? Yes. Jesus faced accusers who pointed and demanded. He forgave them.

Remember the sickness or the aches and pains you have struggled to overcome. Is it possible to see God in these? Yes. Jesus suffers with us.

Mother Veronica was born into a Communist family and raised by parents who denigrated faith and denied God. Yet she started to believe at a young age and, through her example, they too became followers of Jesus. She went on to set up monasteries in North Africa.

Mother Veronica resolved to find Jesus everywhere. To those who are paying prayerful attention, God shows himself. Where will you see him today?

Holy Spirit, guide me. Help me see Jesus in the people I meet today.
