In this issue, Dr. Obren Amiesimaka begins by looking at The Rule of St. Benedict and explains what work and prayer are. Ultimately, he says, it is a balance of the two that leads to a healthy spiritual life.
Following this, Sr. Mary Coswin writes on how our desires and longings will lead us to the Lord. When we pray, we make the decision to actively seek the One who has sought us all along. She quotes St. Augustine’s Confessions, “You have made us for Yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
Inspired by the Korean philosopher Byung-Chul Han, Ryan Turnbull presents the idea that we structure our lives based on what we can and should be doing. But that sometimes, and perhaps more often than we may think, doing things that may seem “useless” is what we need to take a deep breath and delight in the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Then, Zoe Matties invites us to practice the Sabbath in ways we may not have initially thought of. On the seventh day of creation, God delighted in what He had made. As such, we are also called to slow down, re-orient ourselves, and delight in what God has made.
Finally, I am grateful that I got a chance to meet with our new diocesan PWRDF representative, The Rev. Deacon Gabriel Kwenga (who goes by Kwenga). A man with infectious joy and perseverance who is dedicated to serving God and God’s people every day in his work and prayer.
Peace be with you; I hope you enjoy.
