THE EYE TREE
When we moved into our house, our children
were still little. They loved this tree in the
backyard and called it the ‘eye tree’ because
it appeared to be looking at them. It tickled
their imaginations. The kids have grown a lot,
but the tree is still much the same. In the
days of lockdown, we enjoyed having lunch
under its shady branches. Sometimes, the
kids had their online lessons sitting there.
Holy Spirit, thank you for your gifts of
knowledge and insight.
May we always look past the surface of our
lives to see what is really sheltered there.
At the start of the Spiritual Exercises,
St Ignatius prayed that may we want and choose
only the things that help us reach the end for
which we have been created.
