Participate in the Abundant Divine Life

The Gospel reading is Luke 11:13-21

We easily forget that the abundance in our lives is not our own. We are not our own. We have the opportunity to participate in the abundant Divine life. A spiritual exercise to help us to experience this is to imagine ourselves lying on the ground in a field of wheat, with the wheat growing up and through us, not even thinking of a barn into which we might stow the wheat.
