A quote from Catherine McAuley:
Speak of God, for God and with God.
Catherine, in her practical sensibility, again says the obvious and the challenging. Speak of God; be a witness to God in your life. Speak for God; be aware of God in your life and make it known by the way you live. Speak with God; take time each day to speak with God in prayer.
To do this one has to have a relationship with God. That can only come when you have taken the time to listen, to speak and to be silent before God. You cannot speak of God if you do not know God. you cannot be a witness to God if you have not had a "God experience", something that has changed your life.
Today I will take stock of how I speak for God and of God since I already speak to God each day. I still have a long way to go to be that witness by my very words and actions. And how about you?
