"O LORD....
When I look at the sky, which you hav e made,
at the moon and the stars, which you have set in their places -
what are human beings, that you think of them... .
that you care for them?" ~ Psalm 8:1, 3-4

I h ave been a night walker for years; I love to contemplate the stars. Their vastness evokes constant wonder.... Some people tell me they feel small whe n they look at the stars and they don't like the feeling. I feel small, to o, but I find it comforting....
I want creation to be a lot bigger than me, in part because I want the Creator to be a whole lot bigger than me. I need a God whose ability to forgive, to love, to heal are much greater than mine. ~ Edward S. Gleason, Forward Day by Day

How do you feel when you look at the stars?

"The world will nev er starve for wonder; but only for the want of wonder." ~ Gilbert K. C hesterton

" I know a certain Christian man who... was snatched up to t he highest heaven.... and there he heard things which cannot be put into wo rds." ~ 2 Corinthians 12:2-4

Astronaut James Irwin says th at when he, Scott, and Worden, blasted off on Apollo 15 to the moon, he thought it was merely "to get rocks and take some pictures." What happened , however, changed his life. He wrote in his book To Rule the Night:

"I wish I had been a writer or a poet so that I could convey more adequately the feeling of this flight. It has been sort of a sl ow-breaking revelation for me. The ultimate effect has been to deepen and s trengthen all the religious insight I ever had. It has remade my faith."

Later, he said in a public lecture:
"God became closer and closer to us as we ventured deeper and deeper into space... I felt that power of G od as I never felt it before." ~ Mark Link S.J.

"When the centurion who stood facing hi saw how he breathed his last he said, Truly this man was the Son of God!" ~ Mark 15:39

Beneath the cross at Golgotha there stood a soldier to whom history and legend have given the name Longinus. It was he who, witnessing all the tr agic events of the Crucifixion, said of Jesus: "Clearly this man was the S on of God."

Legend says that Longinus was cured of partial blindness by the blood of Christ that feel on him and that he left soldiering to bec ome a Christian. He reportedly went on to lead a monastic life and, by his words and example, to win many souls for Christ. Some stories have him ar rested for his faith and brought before a judge. After Longinus refused to renounce his faith, according to those stories, the judge ordered his tee th to be knocked out and his tongue cut off. Picking up an ax and still abl e to speak, Longinus broke the idols into pieces crying out, "Now we shal l see whether they are gods." ~ J. M. Guerin

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in tro uble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and fo am, though the mountains tremble with its tumult." ~ Psalm 46:1-3
< br>God is a sanctuary, a refuge from the cares of life. We can get away fr om the misunderstandings of others by retiring into our own place of medita tion. but from ourselves, from our own sense of failure, our weakness, o ur shortcomings, where can we flee? Only to the eternal God, our refuge, until the immensity of God's spirit envelopes our spirit and it loses its smallness and weakness and comes into harmony again with God's. ~ Fr. Pat U mberger

Pray that we may lose our limitations in the immensity of Go d's love. Pray that our spirit may be in harmony with God's spirit. < br>

"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized th at they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus." ~ Acts 4:13

The Disci ples were a band of illiterates, utterly devoid of social consequence, no t likely to be chosen by one having supreme regard to prudential considerat ions. Why would Jesus choose such men? The truth is that Jesus was obliged to be content with fishermen, publicans, and quondam zealots. Those who d eemed themselves better were too proud to become disciples. A few of good p osition were sincere sympathizers, but they were not eligible for apostles . Nicodemus was barely able to speak a timid apologetic word in Christ's be half, and Joseph of Arimathea was a disciple "secretly", for fear of the Jews. These were hardly the men to send forth as missionaries of the cross - men so fettered by social ties and so enslaved by the fear of man. Ans so Jesus was obliged to fall back on rustic, but simp...

"I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the shee p. As the Father knows me and I know the Father, in the same way I know my sheep and they know me." ~ John 10:1, 14-15

Jesus went o n to say, "There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this s heep pen. I must bring them, too; they will listen to my voice and they w ill become one flock with one shepherd. The Father loves me because I am wi lling to give up my life.... that I may receive it back again. No one takes my life away from me. I give it up of my own free will... This is what my Father has commanded me to do (John 10:1, 14-18)." ~ Author Unknown

Who are the "other sheep" who listen to the shepherd's voice? Besides list ening to it in Scripture, where else might they listen for it?

" God talks to us at a level in ourselves that we cannot reach... an inner di mension that we didn't know we possessed until He declared Himself in it." ~ Louis Evely
