Reread your life’s story to discover Christ. Even things which in the moment seem of little importance can reveal to us something deeper upon further reflection. These events, he said, are like precious, hidden pearls the Lord has sown” in our daily lives. Good is hidden, silent. It requires slow and continuous excavation. Because God’s style is discreet, it does not impose; it is like the air we breathe. We do not see it but it allows us to live, and we realize this only when it is missing. The more we reread our life’s story, added the Pope, the more refined our perception becomes, making it easier to discover God’s action in our lives. Papal Audience, Oct. 2022
