Paul Fromont (Prodigal Kiwi - and long time friend of ours) posts this from Ignatius of Loyola...
insisting on God’s presence in all things, [Ignatious] denied a group of Jesuit students in his day, permission to prolong their morning meditation time. Instead he reminded them that rather than spending lengthy time in prayer, “they should strive to seek the presence of God in all things – for instance, in association with others, in walking, looking, tasting, hearing, thinking, indeed, in all that they do. It is certain”, he said, “that the majesty of God’s presence, activity, and essence” is in all of these things....great quote & more ancient missional thinking! Cheers Paul.
