SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING NOVEMBER 22, 2020

St. Francis de Sales teaches us that the best way to feel the close presence of God is to be mindfully aware of the present moment. Before any activity, whether work or rest, say a prayer, take a breath, and ask God for grace. Be attentive to all that you see and hear, welcome it (even the worms and stuff) and let your heart rest in the peaceful awareness that God is near.

Bro. Mickey McGrath is an of St. Francis De Sales, an artist, author, and speaker. Please visit www.bromickeymcgrath.com
