The Way of Life

See, how the Lord in his love shows us the way of life. (RB Pro. 20)

I am directionally challenged. Not that I get lost very often…I just find a new way to arrive at most places. The idea of having the path of life marked out for me so that even though I might stray a little I can be sure of arriving at the right destination is appealing.

The Rule, the Gospels, and community life provide that GPS function that I was born lacking. If I remember to listen attentively with “the ear of my heart” to God’s promptings in my life, I can be confident that I will find God’s path to happiness for me. It is our daily prayer together that keeps me focused on this path of life, everyday in all circumstances.
