Air

A MEDITATION

For in Him we live and move and have our being. (Acts 17:28, NIV)

Isn’t it a wonder how the air we breathe goes right inside of us — not simply into our lungs, but all the way into our bloodstream. The wonderful, incredible way in which oxygen is carried by the bloodstream, through tributaries and capillaries to nourish and cleanse every cell in our bodies, is a wonder of creation.

At the end of a busy day we can sometimes collapse in our beds so weary and spent we have no energy left for anything, even reading. Yet, we go on breathing, replenishing our cells, sustaining our bodies with vital air.

Is it possible that, in the same way, our souls are to be nourished and sustained by God through spiritual breathing? Many great saints were simply ordinary people who knew this secret of ongoing prayer — spiritual breathing. Through prayer, they drew God into their deepest selves, like air. They were nourished in ways we hardly comprehend.
