A quote from Catherine for today:
We should hope to get on
taking short careful steps,
not great strides.
It's Friday. I'm tired. I went to an event last night, a Mass, a bishop, Knights of Columbus, lots of people and my table of vocation wares...Home late and up early. This could be a long grueling day.
But Catherine reminds us to take short careful steps... that's what I shall do. break my day into steps and complete each of them with my best. Then the long stride of the day will not be looming.
Although she was probably talking about our spiritual life, this quote has a great deal of meaning for all that we do. How like her to leave us something we can use in our stress-filled world as well! One practical woman!
For us today, let us look at breaking down the seemingly insurmountable tasks into steps. We shall have much more peace and serenity amid out daily labors and we can also take time then to realize that God is in the middle of all of this and will be walking besides us. Reminds me of the 'Footprints" story of one set of footprints when God was doing the carrying,
A nice thought for a Friday! Today is also the beginning of Christan Unity Week. Again small steps will hep us to "get on" or get along with each other. blessings!
