I watched an interesting program on TV tonight about the search for the Holy Grail. Dan Brown in the Da Vinci Code says he believes it to be Mary Magdalene, but for centuries it was thought to be a chalise, the cup that Jesus drank from the night before he died. This chalise has launched wars that lasted for hundreds of years and in the end, it looks like it all was the figment of a 12 Century writer.

But is it? Aren’t we all searching for something holy? It can take on many forms depending who we are. For a writer it can be that perfect story, for a poet a sonnet, for a painter a portrait, an architect a building, a baseball player that perfect game. It seems as if most of us have a need to search for the perfection whether it be within or without.

It’s my contention that the Holy Grail is only a breath away. It’s humbling ourselves, acknowledging that there is a power greater than us, and submitting our will to His.

Do you have the courage to take up the challenge of this search? The one that will lead to eternal riches?
