interior Upheaval Can Bring You Nearer to God
A quote from Catherine McAuley:
The matter which causes the greatest interior upheaval is the very thing which,
if properly used, will bring you nearer to God.
What is the interior upheaval happening in our lives today? I was reflecting up this matter a while back and wrote this reflection.
Sometimes in our search for God we look to the latest fad, the best homily, the most moving music, great community of faith and or course, the latest, most up-to-date books on God. All of these can lead to God, but god is not found in them.
If God were, then so many hearts would have changed, the books would have been multi-million dollar best sellers, the church would be packed, the homily would be televised for all the world to experience.
No, God touches us differently. God touches us in our hearts. It's in the depths, the quiet where you and God connect. Now this can happen with the music, the homily, the community of faith or a book. For many it does. But it is still the heart that is touched.
For others it's the moment; the birth of a child, a marriage vow, an ordination, or religious vows that finally seal that God-moment that stays with you forever. If you have not had that God moment, maybe you have not looked for it in the right place. Maybe you need to look within.
