I can't believe that Easter is a week behind us. This Sunday was Divine Mercy Sunday. I try to say my DM chaplet at 3pm [the hour Our Lord died]. This Sunday was also our S.F.O. meeting and we welcomed five new candidates who for the past months have been enquirers. Myself and three others are already candidates preparing for profession. I pray that I am worthy and that this is truly what God wants of me. St. Francis charism is all about simplifying one's life i.e. even when you are a lay person. None the less even a lay person takes vows just a binding as Marriage vows. To live out our Baptism promises [as all Christians should] but in the spirituality of St. Francis. To build up the Church[the body of Christ] to be Christ's light in the world. No easy task. Daunting at the very least. All those who read this, please say a prayer for me that I may be faithful to this calling.
From my window, I see the sun shining & fluffy white clouds are drifting past in a most beautiful blue sky. Birds are singing and Winnie is barking at them. Everything seems all right and in order. My heart is full, I just talked with my daughter for her birthday. I love all my children, but she holds a special place as she is the First Gift that God entrusted to me.
I feel so small and insignificant, but, I know without any reservation that I am loved by my creator, who is my rock, my Savior.
I am thinking that I never got the opportunity to Thank those two women who took me to Our Lady of Sorrows Church on Stanton St. in NYC to have me Baptized into the Light of Christ. I must remember to include them in my prayers. I wonder if they know what a wonderful gift they gave me in doing so.
+Pax et bonum[peace and all good]
