exams

Jul 10, 2015

Please keep in your prayer these days the students of the Liturgical Institute who are taking their final comprehensive exams for the MA degree over the next few days. I am praying for them in the hope that they will do the same for me in 12 months when it will be my turn to take the written and oral exams which cover all that we have (and should have) learned over the past five years.

St Joseph of Cupertino would understand what I mean when I say that my not doing well in some exams in the past was due to the examiners not asking the right questions.

So, may the examiners ask the right questions and may our friends here at the LI have the opportunity to share all they know, and some more.

A few years ago I discovered the wonderful way that God uses my imagination in my prayer.
Such openness to imagination when seeking God does not take us away from reality into fantasy but instead brings me into what is most real and inescapably personal and intimate.

A couple of thousand years ago, a young Jewish woman was going about her normal morning routines, perhaps with a mixture of house and garden work, chatting with parents and neighbours, aware of the local drought, the sickness of a neighbour and annoyed by the neighbourhood’s lack of sleep caused by the Romans’ noisy party the night before, when God broke into her routine and entered her life in a new and powerful way.
