The Sacred and the Permanent
“You see these great buildings? Not a single stone here will be left in its place; everyone of them will be thrown down.” (Mark 13: 2)
I see here a message on how to view the material world. I need to see the difference between the eternal, the temporal and transient. Just as the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed at God’s pre-ordained time, so also will the material world vanish at the appointed time.
When I am in downtown Houston on Smith Street, like the apostles, I admire the “wonderful stones and buildings.” When I do it today, I will ask God to lift my mind to what is permanent and enduring.
What do I know today that is permanent and enduring? I can think of Jesus Christ, who was, who is and who shall ever be. He is the Alpha and Omega.
I thank you Jesus for this light. Grant me the grace to grow in the awareness of the sacred, the divine and the permanent. May I become more aware of your presence in my life today.
