A Lord-pervaded World

Stonyhurst College came to visit this week and one of the masters gave me John Twist’s new book Netting Fishes. This is a book of short homilies from the chaplain to his congregants. It is excellent. I was struck by one thought. It was a quote from Gandhi:

All this world must be pervaded by a Lord. Accept and enjoy it.

It is an interesting thought that if God is in everything, in a sense we can love everything if we don’t want to own it.
