"Evening meditation (July 22):
Today the eyes of millions of people were on the famous pope and the famous prince.
But God's eyes were on you.
... Even in the hidden parts of your life, God sees you, cares about you, loves you.
Today and everyday, God is with you."

Yesterday was a busy news day. The pope arrived in Brazil for World Youth Day and was mobbed like a rock-star the minute his plane landed. And, across the sea, the long-awaited new prince was born to Prince William and Princess Catherine. And yet...God's eyes were on you! Isn't this an amazing thought? So simple, and yet, so profound. And so true. As I listened, with one ear, to the hub-bub surrounding the royal birth, I thought of a new baby being born, this day, in the jungle of Africa, or in a slum in India and I thought to myself...each baby is just as beautiful to God. Each new life is just as precious to God as this royal baby. So, this day AFTER all the news, let's stop and pray for all the new babies born each minute all around the world. And let's pray for safety for our Pope Francis and for his wonderful ministry there at WYD. And let's pray for each one of us, who are as loved and adored by God as we can possibly be! Oh, and please pray for my dog Eiger, who is having surgery today. St. Francis, pray for him...love, heidi
