Saint Ignatius of Loyola believed that all things reveal something of God to us. Every person, place, or thing can give us insight into God, if we could only be more alert and aware and shift our focus to see all things through this perspective.
How often do we rush through life without noticing all that is around us and within us? We either race from here to there, or our actions become so routine that just we don’t notice small things.
If you want to test this, take a walk or a drive down a familiar street, or simply sit in a familiar room, but really look around this time. What do you see that you never really noticed or appreciated before? How much of what God wants to reveal to us are we missing?
Today, begin to draw nearer to God by noticing His presence all around you and in all things.
Pray the Advent Prayer.

Then, prayerfully read Psalm 89:11-16 .
Spend the day “walking in the light of God’s presence.” Notice how great our God is!
Pray for the grace of being aware of God’s presence in all things throughout the day.
