I will always be near you.
Blue Book #1
How are you going to restore the world to Christ, if you are doing the minimum required the letter of the law and never plunge into its spirit? Christ is waiting for you to become aware of him and the work he has given you, by becoming aware of the connection between brooms, dishwater, letter writing, tidiness, and the restoration of the world.
Grace in Every Season
So much of what we struggle with in life is a distraction from this Divine Calling in our lives… the calling to live out our lives with Him.
I think back on the lives of my parents and ancestors back in the Azores islands and think they were all better at this than I am, than what our current society seems to be.
Yes, their lives were more difficult in so many ways. But it was also filled with joy and grace. I don’t recall anyone suffering with depression. It was fully lived in the little moments of raising families, and the hard labor that came with that in those days, as well as caring for and praying with neighbors, and partaking in the local church celebrations. They also took time to develop their talents and artistry, whether in music or handy crafts and everyone benefited from it.
So many distractions today and we’re losing our very soul. We are all suffering from Attention Disorder, whether organic or otherwise.
This is where the ‘Marian dimension’ comes in… this pondering that needs to take place for awareness to grow is her specialty. She is always with us.
