Most every morning, as I awaken, I greet my great cloud of witnesses. This is a time of meditation in which I silently call their names, realizing that I have forgotten (or do not even know) the names of many more. We all have clouds of witnesses, people who were on earth and left footprints for us to follow, but have preceded us into the life ever after. They are faithful, spiritual witnesses who accompany us on our journey. Their legacy helps to inform our actions.

Father’s Day is just around the corner. I am related to several fathers (or papas) named Leo and we have a new Pope named Leo. Travel this healthy spiritual journey with me as we weave those threads of information into a tapestry of thoughts.

“The only time that we are allowed to look down upon others is when we are helping them up.” – Pope Francis

She didn’t usually come in early, but this morning felt different. Maybe it was the quiet of Good Friday, or the fact that the sky was just beginning to lighten when she pulled into the hospital parking lot. She sat in her car for a few minutes, sipping coffee that had gone lukewarm, watching a few staff trickle in. For a moment, there was no rush—just space to breathe.

Springtime, with its abundant new life, gives us reminders to be aware of the many opportunities to live and love gratefully. God is ever-present, helping us to grow in divine ways. We just need to wait for those moments of sheer silence - as did Elijah - and remind ourselves “Quiet Please – God is Talking.”

Healing doesn't require perfection.
