There are many ways to get lost. Sometimes it helps to just acknowledge that you may have gotten lost lately through no choice of your own.
It can happen anywhere, in all kinds of ways.... You can get lost on your way home. You can get lost looking for love. You can get lost between jobs. You can get lost looking for God. However and whenever it may happen, you can take heart.
Others before you have found a way in the wilderness, where there are as many angels as there are wild beasts, and plenty of other lost people too. All it takes is one of them to find you. All it takes is you to find one of them.
However it happens, you could do worse than to kneel down and ask a blessing, remembering how many knees have kissed this altar before you....We may get lost while we wander, but we are not alone!
