Your Will Be Done, O Lord, Not Mine

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons)

O Lord, You know, what is best for me, let it be done according to Your will.  Give me what You will, in whatever measure You will, and at whatever time You will.  Give me what You know to be the best, as pleases You best, and as will best promote Your glory.  Put me where You will, and freely do with me in all things according to Your will. Am I not Your creature, and in Your hands, for You to lead me and turn me about as You will?  I am Your servant, ready to do all things at your command, for I do not want to live for myself, but only for You.  If only I could do this worthily and perfectly.

Thomas a Kempis

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work.   Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings.   One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
