I said to the man. Who stood at the gate of the year,. Give me a light that I may tread safely. And he replied ,. Go out into the darkness. And put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you. And safer than a known way! So I went forth. And finding the Hand of God,. Trod gladly into the night . And he led me towards the hills. And the breaking of day in the lone East.

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,. And gave it to them, saying,. 8220;This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me. In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying. 8220;This cup is the new covenant in my blood,. Which is poured out for you. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

The words of saints and sages for meditation and reflection. 8220;Have we not always found in our past experience that on the whole our kind interpretations were truer than our harsh ones?

I Will Be With You. I said to the man. Who stood at the gate of the year,.

God has said, Never will I leave you;. Never will I forsake you. I felt relieved, justified and a little bit childish. That last emotion I chose to ignore. Some days later I remembered the incident. As I did God spoke clearly into my mind. He said to me,. I will never do that to you! I will never discard you in disgust. Remain in me, .

HELD CAPTIVE BY HIS LOVE. HELD CLOSE TO HIS GRACE. AT TIMES WHEN I FEEL LOST AND DESERTED JESUS REMINDS ME OF. HIS PURE AND LAVISHED LOVE. HE TRULY IS GRACIOUS, HE DIED FOR ME AND DEFEATED DEATH. NOW I CAN SING PRAISES TO HIM ALONE. Gas prices constantly go up. I get so lost in the worries of the world that my heart often gives up. My body is tired my mind is broken, my soul is asking questions.

There is a certain method of practising the presence of God, by which, if the soul chooses, she may remain always in prayer, and constantly enkindled and inflamed with the love of God. This consists in realizing, in the midst of our occupations, that we are doing the will of God in each, and in rejoicing and being glad that it is so. Text from A Year With the Saints.
