We tend to complicate our faith, but when we, like the disciples, remember what matters, we return to our roots of love. -Valerie Schultz

This week I share a reflection and a poem that each came my way in recent days. I am thinking quite a bit about transitions at this time of year, as the schools I support wind down…and my home life winds up toward the summer ahead. Life is full and God is good.

Blessings on your week ahead!

Presence of God – Sr. Pat Kozak, CSJ

First, stay alert. Recognize that the power of God can make its appearance in unlikely times and places.

Second, remember that it is God who is ever “making all things new.”

Third, don’t miss the moment. Act on the grace as it comes to you.

What surprises might lie ahead for us today?

Dreams– By Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged brid

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.
