Recently I travelled through Austria, Germany and Scandinavia marvelling at the beauty of God’s creation. From the snow capped mountains in Salzburg, to the waterfalls in Germany and the lakes and fjords in Scandinavia I could delight in the untouched magnificence of what God had made.  When reflecting on these geographical features I was overwhelmed as they were so stunning, absolute perfection.

“Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5.48”

What does that mean?

 When I write an assignment, organise a mass or run a prayer service I glimpse perfection for a moment but it is only a moment. At the end of the day I never am totally satisfied I always feeling there are parts that could be improved. Thus, I believe that attempting to be perfect is something that continues to evolve rather than being an end point.

Perfection to me is always striving to be perfect.  I would question myself if I thought I did something perfect would I can become complacent and self satisfied.  I have come to the conclusion that perhaps there is no such thing has perfection but there are moments when everything goes perfectly. What I would call seeing a glimpse of perfection.
