Look up! Fireworks light up the sky! The amazing light show fills the heavens with beauty and power. Did you know that beauty and power are always in the heavens? Does our prayer life call us to look up? To look around?
We pray, “Lord, send out your Spirit and renew the face of the earth.” What kind of fireworks, what kind of renewal do we want the Holy Spirit to bring? Depending on your Christian faith life you may ask for a renewed personal meeting with Christ. A member of the Jewish faith may ask for Rabbi Kotler’s understanding, “The whole purpose of creation is love (“hesed”), and a person is obligated to conduct themselves accordingly.” Followers of Islam call to an all- powerful God for guidance in all legal and social systems.
Spirituality in any faith is about what you do, why you do it, and how you do it. Look up. But be careful what you ask for. The renewal the Spirit calls us to is an earthshaking mission: embrace the poor, the sick, the lonely, the homeless, the immigrant, the hungry, those isolated or lost. Free them. Embrace them.
Deeds of love light up the sky!
Loretto wishes all a Happy 4th and a Happy 250th Birthday, USA!
