The Los Angeles Province Fall DESIGNS magazine will be in the mail soon! The theme this season is “The Power of the Present Moment.”
Many of our sisters and associates sent in beautiful reflections of their experience with how to get into the present moment. We were not able to fit all these pearls of wisdom in the magazine, so we are highlighting them here.
This one is from Sister Joann Heinritz, CSJ:
Gift of energy: St. Irenaeus said: “The glory of God is a person fully alive!”
+Medieval architects of the cathedrals of Europe believed that the soul could enter and leave the body through the soles of the feet. It is for this reason that “soul to sole” bears profound significance.
+Accessing the energy of the holy ground available to us through our feet, connecting the soles of our feet to the soul of our being grounds and anchors us in the present moment.
+The Early Church theologian, Augustine of Hippo said:
“Solviture ambulando,” — “It is solved by walking…”
+Reflect: Presence is meditation in motion. Awaken me to this moment, this wonderful precious moment of being alive!
