This is my favorite "personal" scripture.
The Sacrament of Time
How do I treat the gift of sacramental time? Is my desk an altar, is our dinner table a Eucharist, is this house a temple? Not always… God holds out the sacrament of time and sometimes I turn away to partake of something else…
The time is ripe for joy, and joy holds the universe together. I must find my joy in time, in the mighty rushing wind that pervades my work, in the Spirit’s brooding over the waters of my eating and sleeping, in the crucifixion of wasted hours and the hope of resurrection for those who are redeemed. The moment’s I have as a human being are shaping me for heaven on a day called today.
