I wonder why continual prayers for strength and peace go unanswered, these are noble things to ask of a loving father. Granted, my brokenness has to work harder to discipline myself to go to Adoration and pray more when I need to lean in but I’d hoped our Lord could see I’m doing my best. I’ll keep trying.
My granddaughter said to me one day through tears “Grandma I am trying to be a good Christian” my heart broke as I looked at her and said honey you don’t have to try you ask His help. He knows we can’t do somethings in our own because of unhealed hurts so we go to Him and ask His help. All He asks of me is to be honest and tell Him how I feel even if I am mad at Him I can tell Him, when I don’t understand I can tell Him that if I am having a hard time with someone I can tell Him and ask His help. He doesn’t expect me to do it by myself. I personally didn’t know what intimacy was and for a long time that is what my relationship with God was missing. Since I came to understand that I went to Him and ask Him to help me establish the intimacy in our relationship and help me know what true intimacy is.

First things first, Love is the greatest gift from God, no matter who or what is in our midst. Without Love, Mercy and Forgiveness, who would want to draw near and dear to anything that exists! But if you insist about God's provision, St. Francis gave us the perfect gift for an angel with a mission. Live with, and, in this, and a guardian angel will be in position for grandson's condition. St. Francis Prayer Lord, make me a channel of Thy Peace, that where this hatred, I may bring love; that where this is wrong, I may bring the Spirit of Forgiveness; that where this is discord, I may bring harmony; that where this error, I may bring truth; that where there is doubt, I may bring faith; that where there is despair, I may bring hope; that where there are shadows, I may bring light; that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord grant that I may seek, rather to comfort, than to be comforted, to understand rather than be understood; to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting one finds. It is by forgiving, one is forgiven. It is by dying, one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for letting me share.
Beautiful and deep episode! Felt like I was sitting right there with you beautiful ladies bearing our hearts.
Love love Bishop Barton’s liturgy of the hours.

Question for you beautiful women: my 2 year old grandson is not baptized, does he still have a guardian angel? ❤
