She is a woman that not only talks about generous faith, but lives it daily. Enjoy this book - it will open your eyes to see God everywhere and in everything.\" - Rev.

We all need to make time and space for God if we want to understand our calling and our mission. With the help of the very accessible guided meditations Sister has provided, we can all grow in faith and confidence that we can witness Christ's love to the people in our lives.\" - Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Archbishop of Boston\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis simple and joy-filled book opens our hearts to what is in the air we breathe, under our feet, and in this very moment: the abundant life, a gift from God. As Sr. Bridget says with her infectious enthusiasm, all we need to do is cultivate this awareness through three basic practices: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Living in the moment \u003cbr\u003e- Trusting in Divine care \u003cbr\u003e- Experiencing God's presence.\u003cp\u003eThis is not a how-to book of methods and techniques. Rather, it is a collection of stories that give shape and face to these three practices. The people in these stories ask us to re-examine our own journey and change our perspective. In so doing, we take a second look at our life, and realize that what we have is more than enough for it is, quite simply, most abundant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more than 50 years, \u003cb\u003eSr. Bridget Haase, OSU\u003c\/b\u003e has been a well-traveled Ursuline Sister, having taught students in Appalachia and across the U.S. and in Mexico, ministered to starving children in Sudan, East Africa, and lived in Ursuline communities in West Africa, Italy, and England.
