INTENTION FOR SEPTEMBER 2: Sometimes we measure the distance between us physically, such as next door, down the street, or in another country; at other times we measure the distance emotionally, by degrees of intimacy, people we are close to or people from whom we are estranged. Our Lord desires a relationship with us that is very intimate, closer even than our own breath or heartbeat. In our prayer lives today, let us reflect on the degree to which we recognize, desire, or accept His nearness in our daily lives; may it deepen our intimacy with our Lord.
