From Daily Readings with the Desert Fathers Imagine being taken or your inmost self being the possession of the Holy Spirit. It seems to be the only way to be rid of sin. It seems there is nothing I can do to get rid of it. It has to be the Lord.
The last sentence intrigues and inspires me. The prayer for guidance could be for so many important areas of life, but this desert Father chose this “that I may remember your presence day and night.”
It wasn’t guidance in solving a problem or making the best decision for the family. It was guidance to be in the presence of God. Wisdom is this: Ginding ourselves in the presence of God.
