His words...

Words of encouragement from Our Lord to me while adoring Him in the Most Blessed Sacrament this morning in His Mother's chapel:

"We walk by faith, not by sight."

Lead on, kindly Light...

Gentleness...

"I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and gentleness is to be expected only from the strong."

--Leo Rosten

Still...

"A bit of fragrance still clings to the hand which held the rose."

--Arabic proverb

I understand you completely...

Home... .

The sky is so beautiful tonight with mauve-swept clouds slowly drifting all around a brilliant sliver of silver moon. The branches and leaves of the trees frame the whole in a circle of gracefulness, a wondrous portal into the night sky. The breeze is cool, a sea-breeze it seems. How strange to feel it here in the midst of the prairie; but no stranger perhaps than seeing a seagull flying above my head as I walked the country lane. I saw one yesterday, heard its plaintive cry as it sailed above me. By now it is surely home again. And that is where I am, home once more, writing these words beneath a canopy of stars on midnight blue. Home again from the sea...

Reality

Can it be
that I am not
as real to you
as you are
to me?

Only a dream---

"Life is only a dream: soon we shall awaken. And what joy! The greater our sufferings, the more limitless our glory. Oh! do not let us waste the trial Jesus sends."

--Saint Therese of Lisieux
