Come to the Father

When you come near here remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground. Exodus 3:5

The  morning comes scattering the darkness and covering the day with soft  light and what better place to start it than in a sacred space that is responding to a murmuring deep within  you saying 'come to the Father.' And what joys await. I think one of the greatest yet simplest  spiritual acts we can do is to spend time in silence with our Lord and lo, what peace and richness lies within it. There rises from my sacred space the beautiful rich God made perfume of the Daphne flowers crowding its bush, the perfume of God. I remember an  elderly lady once asked me in a little note she left for me in the nursing home chapel, she said:' Tell me, can you smell God, because this space today was filled with such a beautiful fragrance that the only way I could describe it was, it had to be from God.'  There is something about sacred spaces, they are places where God is- waiting- begging us- to join him.

May the peace of God fill your life every single day.   Anne, servant of the Lord.
