Continuing on from yesterday: Fr. Matthew emphasizes over and over how much initiative God takes in His relationship with us.  God pours out His love like the sunlight, “wherever he finds space, like a ray of sunlight, and joyfully disclos[ing] himself to people on the footpaths and the highways.”  Our response is to be not so much “forging a way, but on our getting out of the way.  Progress will be measured, less by ground covered, more by the amount of room God is given to manoeuvre.”  That is where He will give Himself–where He finds space. So how do we make that space for Him?

To be continued.
