Like Any Other Day

by Terry Young, RDC

 

Is today like any other day?

Is the day of your birth like any other day?

Was last Saturday like any other day?

Was the day your loved one died like any other day?

Was the day your grandchild was born like any other day?

No day. NO DAY. Absolutely no day is like every other day.

Every day has a story, a lesson, a shade of many colors,

a different song that played.

Pay attention.

What did the story of today’s color and music bring to your life?

Reflect. Re-collect all the minutes, moments and communions today.

This particular day will not be repeated. Ever.

Not at any time in your life nor in anyone else’s life. Ever.

It was a special day, a unique and special day only in your life.

Be thankful for what you missed,

For what you heard and what you saw,

the words you spoke and love you shared.

For what you forgot and for what you remember.

No day is like any other day.

No day is like any other.

Rest well in the memory of its gifts.

Every day is a new story.

How Will We Find Our Way Home

Inspired by something her dear friend asked Sr. Alice the day before she passed away, the book is a collection of Sr. Alice’s poems written over a period of time, and often reflective of questions that creep into our ordinary lives as we make our way in the day’s challenging climate.

Tracing Thin Places

In the hustle and bustle of our lives we are often challenged to pause and discover “thin places.” As referred to by Celtic Christians, thin places are those rare locales where the veil between heaven and earth is lifted.

We Walk the Road Together.

We Walk the Road Together

Sr. Lori DeGiorgio’s We Walk the Road Together invites you deep into the hard experiences of people seeking a safe and more hopeful life in the United States. The photos of migrants’ poignant moments seem to mirror those of Jesus on his road to Calvary.

The Plan

In these turbulent times it is very easy to believe that we are unimportant as individual people. The issues we live with, the problems that seem insurmountable confront us all the time. Terry Young offers us hope and perspectives needed to go on.

Can I Hear Myself?

Do you hear what I hear?
Have I listened to myself, lately...
