The Kindness of a Reminder about Sacred Space

“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.”
~ Joseph Campbell

I recently heard a wonderful sermon by a visiting Jesuit about the importance of maintaining our sacred spaces.  He said that we need to make sure that we make the time and space for the things that truly matter in our lives, like praying and family.  This priest shared that he recently realized that he had spent a day without praying outside of celebrating Mass.  He said that sometimes it is difficult to carve out that time when the busyness of this world encroaches on our lives, but that it is very important to do so.  As I thought about his wise remarks, I realized that when I don’t make enough time for the things that are sacred to me, I feel out of sorts.
