Day 100 Glory

Edward Robert Hughes," Night with Her Train of Stars"

​(see also Divine Author, Glorious Deeds)

“What daily and hourly thanks and praise, then, do we owe to the Maker and designer of the beauty, glory, and fitness above our heads and about our feet and surrounding us on every side! From the flower in the crannied wall to the glorious firmament on high, all the things of Nature proclaim without ceasing, "Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty."

                                                   *

“There is seldom a daily paper but reveals the unsuspected glory in some human soul.”
 
                                                   *
 
       “‘How like an angel I came down!
          How bright are all things here!
          When first among His works I did appear
          O how His glory did me crown!
          The world resembled His eternity,
          In which my soul did walk;
          And everything that I did see
          Did with me talk.’”
 
                                                   *
 
“We are aware of more than mind and body in our dealings with children. We appeal to their 'feelings'; whether 'mind' or 'feelings' be more than names we choose to give to manifestations of that spiritual entity which is each one of us. Probably we have not even taken the trouble to analyse and name the feelings and to discover that they all fall under the names of love and justice, that it is the glory of the human being to be endowed with such a wealth of these two as is sufficient for every occasion of life.”
 
                                                   *
 
“Perhaps this is one of the secrets of life – to know ‘glory’ when we see it.”
 
                                                   *
 
“The glory of God is a human being fully alive.” ~ Irenaeus
 
 
Examen: What helps me see glory?  What changes in me in recognizing glory?
