Reflection on the Spirit of the Sacred Heart May 11, 2012

Weaving   I must learn to live by faith, like the weaver  never seeing the plan of my life, but trusting God for it and working on the wrong side as it seems, but working for a reality, not of my reason or the imagination of my own fancies,  but one, of which God has not only designed the whole, but counted each stitch and tied every change of thread,   from the beginning to end.

For Reflection...   Are we prepared to walk with her? We can make ourselves aware of the conditioning that ties us excessively to what is "tried and tested".      And we can also recall our own "experiences of daring", those moments in our lives in which we were capable of taking risks, trusting in the Word of God, savouring the freedom that is born from this.  "Be brave and strong, do not be frightened or dismayed because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1: 6,9) http://www.rscjinternational.org/en/spirituality/pray-with-sophie/journey-with-sophie/2437-walking-towards-the-promised-land-with-abraham-and-sarah.html         http://www.flickriver.com/photos/archeon/3890681138
