13 August : Spirituality does not restrict itself to

so-called spiritual exercises - meditation or prayer,

for example. Actually, any day-to-day activity can be

made spiritual if we know how to introduce a divine

element. And conversely, if prayer, meditation or any

other so-called spiritual activity is not enlivened and

sustained by a sublime idea, a higher ideal, it too can

become extremely prosaic.

Spirituality does not consist in neglecting or

scorning the material world but in always striving

to act with the light and for the light. Spirituality is

about knowing how to use any activity - even the most

ordinary, the most prosaic - to elevate ourselves, bring

ourselves into harmony and connect with the divine

world.
