Peace Is All We Seek

by Rev. Lee Catalano

Whatever anyone practiced or practices to bring them closer to God is needed. In the past, religion played a very important role. It’s about community, fellowship and devotion.
 
We are called to have a personal relationship with the unseen. The mind is extremely active and instead of driving ourselves bonkers with all kinds of thoughts about the world, we can go inward.

Spirituality is becoming something very practical and useful for this moment. There is no other moment, only this present eternal moment.

As I sit here on this computer, the phone rings many times. People come and go, looking for attention. Prior to responding to anyone or anything, I pause. I always do better when I pause first. Things are easier.
 
A Course in Miracles tells us that the ego always speaks first. So the frantic part of the mind that knows nothing about anything is in charge if I forget to take pause.

When I am not responding to someone, I am able to focus my attention on appreciation. This is like going to the gym. At first it takes efforting and then becomes a habit. This is what going within is. It’s that simple.

So religion and ritual of past generations had it’s place. Now we are refining our spiritual life and beginning to LIVE it. Why? Because we want peace.

Peace is all anyone is ever seeking, no matter what they are doing. We are hopeful that some sort of peace and satisfaction will come of every encounter. Well, holding our minds heaven-bound is how we achieve it. Now it’s time to scrape up the willingness to REMEMBER.
