Getting Ready to Pray
Grace orders and gives form to chaos and disorder.
We move along the ordinary—the word does not boring, but “ordered” or “orderly”—days which have their un-ordinary moments.
The liturgy of the Eucharist is an ordinary exercise of an extra-ordinary event. The grace of the Eucharist, experienced in community, moves us out and back to the orderly living of this unusual vision of life which is Christianity.
Some Thoughts
We prepare for the celebration of this coming weekend’s liturgy by receiving the “sacrament” of every moment, every person, every invitation and every interruption.
God is never not-giving, not-offering, or not preparing us for living-what-we-receive. Grace orders and gives form to chaos and disorder.
