"The beauty of listening for God in ordinary daily life is that each day can become a vibrant creation when we trust that God is always present, when we look for God in every aspect of our lives, especially in the commonplace and the ordinary. We see God as we listen to our life and recognize that each of us is precious to God. Life itself is a gift and holds endless promise when we open ourselves to living with the Holy One, our Creator. Only God knows the treasures that are in store for us. Only God can foresee the grace that we can be for others when our eyes are on God." - Jane Tomain, St. Benedict's Toolbox: The Nuts and Bolts of Everyday Living, p. 11.
"Listen carefully my son (and daughter), to the master's instructions, and attend to them with the ear of your heart." - from the Rule of St. Benedict, Prologue.
