Spiritual Quote of the Day (Fr. Jean Pierre de Caussade, on Why We Should ‘Discover God in the Smallest and Most Ordinary Things’)
“The present moment holds infinite riches beyond your
wildest dreams, but you will only enjoy them to the extent of your faith and
love. . . . To discover God in the smallest and most ordinary things, as well
as the greatest, is to possess a rare and sublime faith. To find contentment in
the present moment is to relish and adore the divine will in the succession of
all the things to be done and suffered which make up the duty to the present
moment.”— French Jesuit Jean Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751), The Sacrament of the Present Moment, translated by Kitty Muggeridge (1861)
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
