“St Ignatius teaches us that all of life is sacred and that we can meet God in all of life. Whether young or old, at work or at rest, at home or abroad, in sickness or in health, in plenty or in want, in joy or in despair - in any and all circumstances we are not alone but held within God's loving embrace.
It is one thing to acknowledge this truth intellectually or even to embrace it spiritually, but it is quite another to live this truth out practically day by day. In the midst of our often busy and over-scheduled lives we wonder, 'How can I meet God and find holy ground in my life today?' One answer to this cry of our hearts is to become more aware and to seek to be more sensitive to God's presence in the details of our lives.” Penny Hansen
