How would life be different if we invited God's presence to be made especially known in the spaces we enter and inhabit? Would it change the way we see people? Would it change the way we act? Eyes were opened to Jesus's identity in the breaking of bread in Luke 24. May the eyes of every person we meet be opened to who Christ is in our lives when we sanctify the spaces around us.

At some point this week before entering a community space, pray this prayer: Lord, make me aware of what you are doing in the lives of the people I encounter in this space. Make me attentive to the needs of each person I meet as though I am attentive to Jesus himself. Help me to leave that person more at peace, filled with joy, and/or more in touch with the love of God. Lord, come quickly and make your presence known. Amen.

At the end of your day, answer these questions:

-  Where did I feel the Holy Spirit tugging at me to act?

-  Was I hesitant? Why?

-  How would that situation have gone differently if I had slowed down to be attentive to God’s presence?

-  Pray that you’ll be more aware and attentive tomorrow.
