I was sitting at lunch in a small diner near my work. Reading your blog post and almost crying. I am in a time where The Lord is bringing me low. It is hard as I am a prideful person. I don’t want to be here forever and wish to submit myself so I don’t have to keep going through this. Peace to you!

In reply to beryl singleton bissell. What a comforting thought, Beryl....Jesus being so close to me as I walk this path. And yes, it seems pretty rocky sometimes, doesn't it? Thank you so much for your wonderful comments here.

What a lovely journey back to Pacem, Julie. You’ve brought back such memories of my own retreats to that lovely simple time with God experience. The bare woods certainly makes a fitting Advent venue for your meditations. I attended an Advent retreat last week during which the priest suggested that we remember Jesus’ words “take my yoke upon you and you will find rest for your souls.” As a boy, Father often saw teams of oxen yoked together at state fairs. He suggested that we remember when times seems especially painful, that Jesus carries that yoke with us, to remember Jesus’ head is right next to yours in the yoke, helping you negotiate the rocky terrain that leads to eventual harvest.

In reply to Roberta.

I, too, like to read about how others encounter the Lord in their every day lives, Roberta. Right where “the rubber hits the road!” I do journal some – mostly a gratitude journal, but I think the need is increasing as my mind is becoming more sieve-like by the year!

Thank you so much for sharing what I hope will only be the first installment of the fruits you received at Pacem in Terris.
Listening and reflecting on others’ experiences of
God, in every situation in their lives, is always meaningful and valuable for me.
Do you journal as well?

In reply to Helen in Switzerland. I'll bet there are some beautiful places in Switzerland you could go, Helen. Or other countries nearby. I will share more when I think I can put it adequately in print....thank you for asking Helen!
