We all need space to collect our thoughts, take time to pray and be with ourselves and God, a space to rest to find renewal, a place hopefully of healing and clear sight.
For the person with Severe ME space is a requirement that their health and life depends on.
The space required because the illness is so vast and all encompassing is a space that brings isolation from the world and results in true poverty: where everything worldly is removed slowly, day by day, year by year from the persons life.
This space can be a place for healing, or feel like a prison, trapping and confining the person.
With God though, we can find a deeper meaning to life, a connection with anyone anywhere in the world without travelling an inch, a space of spirit and blessing that touches every hurt and offers a degree of sustenance,hope and comfort, even though you do not get well, still healing can occur.
The meaning of life, the meaning of unconditional love, these precious gifts can be found in the spiritual space that opens up, if discerned as such by the person who seeks to know God.
This space can be welcomed into all our lives , for it is the space that we can only find by stillness and inner journey. It can lead us to an infinite space of wonder and gift.
May we all seek and find this space this Lent. Amen.
