Salesian Reflection: Living in God's Presence

"In the course of the day, recall to mind the presence of God as often as you can. Become aware of what God is doing and of what you are doing; you will realize that his eyes are turned towards you and, with unparalleled love, fixed on you all the time.

"My God" you will say, "why do I not look at you always as you look at me? You think of me so often, my Lord, and I think of you so seldom. Where am I? My true place is God; where do I find myself?" (Introduction to the Devout Life, Part I, Ch. 12.)

Prayer for Direction of Intention

O my God, I offer you this day,

I offer you now all the good that I shall do

and I promise to accept for love of you

all the difficulty which I shall meet.

Help me to conduct myself during this day

in a manner that is pleasing to you.

AMEN!
