"Those who live in the present moment..."
From Father Wilfrid Stinissen, O.C.D., Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us.1
Every person comes into the world with a dream of doing something great with his life, something that will make an imprint and bear fruit…. If only we could understand that we can only realize our dream by being totally present to the little and insignificant things we have to do at each moment.
We encounter the infinity of God only in the present moment. The more we are recollected in the moment, the more clearly does the eternal now of God reveal itself.
The infinity of God comes to us through a funnel. It becomes so little and so narrow that it is difficult for us to recognize it. It comes only drop by drop through the small opening. The funnel is the present moment. When I put my mouth to the funnel, I am nourished by infinity….
The present moment is the incarnation of God’s eternity. Those who live in the present moment drink unceasingly of eternity.
