Questions for Reflection
- In what moments or places in your life have you felt a deep sense of beauty that made you long to stay or linger?
- Reflect on your current spiritual journey: do you see yourself as a visitor, a pilgrim, or at home in your relationship with God? How does this understanding affect your approach to worship and prayer?
- Consider the different prayer postures mentioned in the homily (standing, kneeling, sitting). Which posture resonates most with you in your current spiritual state, and why?
- How can you intentionally create sacred spaces in your life that allow you to encounter God more deeply and often? What practices can you adopt to foster a sense of pilgrimage in your everyday routine?
- In what ways can you be more mindful of God’s presence in your life and recognize yourself as a dwelling place for God? How can this awareness shape your interactions with others and your community?

Hello Joan! I’m so glad you listened to the homily. I’m not sure why you haven’t been getting the homilies each week. Have you signed up to receive them already? I believe you can do that on the homepage of http://www.DerekMichaelLarson.com. Love to you as well! Happy New Year!
