God of My Dai­ly Routine (10)
Both Every­day and Your Day 

I must learn to have both ​“every­day” and Your day in the same exer­cise. In devot­ing myself to the works of the world, I must learn to give myself to You, to pos­sess You, the One and Only Thing, in every­thing. But how? Only through You, O God. Only through Your help can I be an ​“inte­ri­or” man in the midst of my many and var­ied dai­ly tasks. Only through You can I con­tin­ue to be in myself with You when I go out of myself to be with the things of the world. 

It’s not anx­i­ety or non-being, not even death that can res­cue me from being lost to the things of the world. Not the mod­ern philoso­phers, but only Your love can save me, the love of You, who are the goal and attrac­tion of all things. Only You are ful­fill­ment and sati­ety. You who are suf­fi­cient even unto Your­self. It is only the love of You, my Infi­nite God, which pierces the very heart of all things, at the same time tran­scend­ing them all and leap­ing upward into the end­less reach­es of Your Being, catch­ing up all the lost things of earth and trans­form­ing them into a hymn of praise to Your Infinity.
