I am amazed and in awe of God’s timing. He is truly The God of Surprises!
As I prepare with my beautiful team to serve those he willed to be among us next weekend at the St. Stephens Acts retreat. I am being given reminders and great signal graces that he is always in control! In some of the final preparations he has surprised me and I’ve been blessed with great joy! I am so thankful for the priests that said yes to helping us and joining us in this sacred time. I am grateful to these holy men who tirelessly serve our Lord and his people.
It’s a reminder to me when I see these men who serve God so unselfishly, who give their entire lives with all their heart to be a shepherd to Christ’s flock that I must follow their example and always serve my brothers and sisters in Christ. And to do so with great Love!
I am thankful for the gift of service …which forever changes one’s heart from the isolation of self centeredness and is a catalyst for growth in Love, to Love as Christ Loves…
I once heard a quote by Saint Teresa of Calcutta which rings true when I contemplate on so many who have been examples of Love and Holy Servants in their lives.
“The fruit of Silence is prayer. The fruit of Prayer is faith. The fruit of Faith is love. The fruit of Love is service. The fruit of Service is peace.”
May you always seek time for silence in this world, and allow prayer to transform you…
May your faith know no limits and abound with great hope always…
May your Love always serve those in your life with no expectation, no limitations and know unconditional Love is always a choice not a feeling…
May peace be with your mind, heart and soul always…that is my prayer for you.
Go be Love and light to this world and shine for Christ!
oh Mandy, that said it ALL. ……. love this one! 🙂 love YOU~!
