In Scripture...
"Yahweh then said,
'I have indeed seen the misery of my people... I have
heard them crying for help on account of their taskmasters.'"
Ez 3:7-8

Confusion
inspired by
Ignatius Loyola
Ignatius asks us to pray for the prayer of confusion. This seems as strange as Yahweh sending us misery. Somehow, it is in the suffering that we
find what is most important. In the confusion and the misery, we put
our priorities in order.
If we were told that we had just so long to
live and to place our life in order, we will only do what matters most to
us. We will only see and love the people that mean the most to us. We will
only spend our time and energy on that which is most important in our lives
and those we love.
We are told every moment of our lives that we have
only the present moment to be loving and kind to ourselves and others. It is
living each and every moment as if it were our last that we do indeed place our lives in God's hands and cry for help in the moments of extreme pain to
be transformed in the peace of the Risen Lord.
At the cutting edge of
the dying is the rising. As Paul of the Cross shares with us that mystical
death is daily transforming us in a Divine nativity, we sing with 'The Rose'
...we do not know how to live because we do not no how to died. In learning
to die, we are Easter People .... Yahweh's Easter People!
Blessings in
the mystery of the moment... Yahweh's eternal moment!
Ignatius
