Making Space for God - Several years ago I wrote the outline of one of my stories and put it online as part of this lesson plan. Recently, I received an email from Mary Wood, Director of Religious Education for Our Mother of Sorrows/St. Peter the Apostle parish in Centreville, Maryland. She sent me an adaptation she had written of that story so that it could be read by her catechists. It is very well crafted and I am grateful that Mary has given me permission to share it with you. You can find the adaptation of the story at http://www.silk.net/RelEd/PDF/The-Mountain-of-the-Rising-Star-Adaptation.pdf.

After my wife’s murder near the chapel by the Pastoral Centre in March last year and before her funeral I sought the seclusion of a cottage in the Blue Mountains where I reflected and wept.
I realized that the tragedy was not an event to be considered in a vacuum. I reflected that Jesus was as present with her in that garden near the chapel as he was present during his own agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.
§ How Can We Pray Unceasingly? by Ronald D. Witherup, S.S., The Passionists - Compassion - Spring, 2008
Developing the habit of praying constantly, without ceasing, is a habit of the heart. If we heighten our awareness of God’s presence and action in the world and do not waiver in that desire, our life can become our “prayer” in the proper sense.
