For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” Psalm 100:5
Simply stated, God is the center of our universe. As mentioned in previous posts, I believe we are launched into our orbit by God at birth. Our orbital path is where we live, breathe, and grow… always toward God. We are held in our orbital path by the gravitational pull of faith. As more eloquently stated in the Catechism of The Catholic Church, “The desire for God is written in the human heart, because man is created by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw man to himself. Only in God will he find the truth and happiness he never stops searching for.” (27)
Faith is the force field that draws us to Our Heavenly Father. In faith, we pray. In prayer, we lift up our hearts and minds to God. St Ephraem, an early saint who authored many hymns and homilies, wrote, “Prayer draws into the soul the Holy Spirit, and raises man to Heaven.” He also wrote, “Prayer that rises up in someone’s heart serves to open up for us the door of heaven: that person stands in converse with the Divinity and gives pleasure to the Son of God.”
Imagine standing in converse with the Divinity! We see examples of this type of exultation over and over again in the Psalms. We need only read a few of David’s Psalms to realize he often must have felt as though he was conversing with the Divinity. In Psalm 108:4-5, “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.” And in Psalm 145:17-18, “The LORD is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” We too can converse with the Divinity, when we let the gravitational pull of faith be the force field that draws us to to Our Heavenly Father. In faith, we pray, lifting our hearts and minds to God, opening up the door of heaven!
May the force be with you! Besides, it is written on your heart!
“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.” Proverbs 3:3-4
