Many of those I love are far away. Our paths have led us to live apart–across borders, even oceans. When I sense this absence my heart aches.

Jesus seems to have enjoyed dining. At the Last Supper, he elevated breaking bread and passing the cup
to become the sacrament of our spiritual sustenance.

Long distances can lead to ignorance of civil unrest, hunger, natural disasters. Though far away, all the globe’s peoples are brothers and sisters to us.

Seeing God smile back—captured in the eyes of loved ones—can be called the Way of the Family.

Today, I will choose—not just accept—a few moments of alone time. I will acknowledge that God is within and without.
