We have been working the past few weeks to clear young trees from a portion of our farm. Once they are cut, we section then stack them for drying and use in the wood cook stove. When we walked back to our house we were astounded by the beautiful view of the mountains that was previously obscured by the trees.
Those young trees that had sprouted are akin to the many distractions we face daily and prevent us from seeing Jesus. If we stop and clear away the distractions periodically we do not lose sight of our Lord. We must keep ourselves cleared of distractions so our harvest and labor will be fruitful for Himself who saved us.
That's me away then.
Living our faith in plain and humble service to Jesus, Our Lord and Savior ... ORA ET LABORA +++ Sentire cum Ecclesia (to think and to feel with the Church)
Rejoice in hope; endure in affliction; persevere in prayer. Romans 12:12
Prayer joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful force in human history.
St. John Paul II
I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it. (Habeo granum sinapis quod uti non timeo)
Pope Benedict XVI
But I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, direct murder by the mother herself."
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
