Eckhart: knowing Him everywhere

Thursday, August 6, 2020
Meditation:
    To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.
    —Deuteronomy 10:14 (NIV)
Quotation:
    A man may go into the field and say his prayer and be aware of God, or he may be in Church and be aware of God; but if he is more aware of Him because he is in a quiet place, that is his own deficiency and not due to God, Who is alike present in all things and places, and is willing to give Himself everywhere so far as lies in Him. He knows God rightly who knows Him everywhere.
    ... Meister Eckhart (1260?-1327?), Meister Eckhart’s Sermons, tr., Claud Field, H. R. Allenson, London, 1909, p. 21 (see the book)
    See also Deut. 10:14; Ps. 139:7-8; Jer. 23:23-24
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You are present in the most tumultuous moments. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
