Someone posted this on their FB wall yesterday. It was a good reminder.
Eckhart Tolle has his bestselling book entitled The Power of Now which stressed the importance of living in the present. Jacques Philippe said in his book Interior Freedom says "It is a mistake to add the burden of the past to the weight of the present, it's a still worse mistake to burden the present with the future." And that hearts anxious about tomorrow can't be open to the grace of the present moment.
And of course, we know that St. Matthew wrote, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
So may we all be present in the present.
