Now. Here. In. A meditation.

There is only one time: Now.

There is only one place: Here

There is only one direction: In

There is only one time: Now.

The past can only become a source of wisdom, after that it is left in the hands of Divine Mercy...

The future is hidden, but belongs to Divine Providence... So worry and anxiety are useless. God intends the best for you and will not deny any gift or grace that will enable you to become all you are meant to be.

The Present arises from the moment by moment loving attention of Divine Compassion... Your "job" is to get past the distractions to see the Now for what it is: Divine Love in action... Co-operate with this Love that is God, yield to it fully and be faithful to its call and the present becomes an infinite space of encounter with the God who IS Love.

There is only one place: Here

You are nowhere but here. Here, wherever it is for you in this moment we call now, is the place of Divine Encounter. It is your desert, your temple, your tabernacle, your burning bush. God, said St. Bonaventure, is One whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere. Divine Presence is always fully present to you. You are just distracted by all the thoughts and desires of egoic nature that would have you yearn to be elsewhere in different circumstances. If you are here then so is God and your here is where He will work with and through you for the building of the kingdom if you tune in and know and it is this attendance to the present moment that changes our circumstances. He is where you are that you may be one day consciously where He IS.

There is only one direction: In.

All other directions are limited. Eventually we tire of them, we exhaust them and are exhausted by them and discover that they are fading and will one day fade completely. All except In. Only In lasts. Only In is. In is the direction that brings us to the self, and through the self to the place of stillness and emptiness and clarity beyond the false and fallen self where we finally know our true self, our heart, beholding it in the Light of Divine Love from which it first arose as a perfect idea. We were eternally an idea in the Divine Mind, a movement of the infinitely creative love that we call God, who in the fullness of time brought us into being, loved us into being, holds us in being in Love and calls us to abide in Love eternally. In teaches us who we are. We discover we are love loved by Love. All other names may change, all other circumstances may come and go, arise and fall, change and even disappear. Only love is eternal and only In brings us to the source of real Love.
