In this gentle meditation, we explore the sacred that lives in the ordinary — in dishes, laundry, and the hum of a daily commute.

Guided by Thomas Merton’s reminder that “The spiritual life is first of all a life,” we practice noticing beauty, presence, and God’s nearness in the simple moments we often overlook.

Take a few minutes to slow down, breathe, and discover the holiness woven into your everyday life.
