“Therefore, since we are surrounded by
such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and
the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race
marked out for us,...” (Hebrews 12:1
NIV)
Geddes MacGregor in “The Rhythm of
God” tells of a priest who, when asked, “How many people were at the early
celebration of the Eucharist last Wednesday morning?” replied, “There were
three old ladies, the janitor, several thousand archangels, a large number of
seraphim, and several million of the triumphant saints of God.” Such a 'cloud
of witnesses' answers a deep human urge to be part of something larger, to not
stand alone, to give our little lives meaning. One drop of water, left alone,
evaporates quickly. But one drop of water in the immense sea endures.

in the Moment: Making Every Day a Prayer”
