Joseph . . . Lazaruz . . . Jesus . . . Me

3/21/2014

This week has been a busy and a challenging week, as far as listening to God is concerned.  The graces pouring forth from Sacred Scripture accounts of Joseph and his brothers, Lazarus the beggar at the rich man's gate, Jesus and his consistent predictions of his coming Passion ------ all connected with me in some way.  

I saw myself being called from judging others to forgiving others.  I was reminded that I am called to live my life to the fullest, trying to miss fewer and fewer opportunities of God's grace.   I wonder how many times Jesus has called me to follow him as a disciple, carrying my own cross and somehow, like his followers, missed the point that Christ was trying to make with me.

I pray that I will be more open to these graces in my life.  I thank God for the patience poured out upon me while God waits for me to "get it."   I would rather live the resurrection moments of "Aha!  I did it!  I got it!   I welcomed this costly grace from God!"  It is at time of wishing and hoping and dwelling upon my "should-a, could-a, would-as" that I hope to remember that these learning curves are part of the dying I need to do as I work on my selfishness and other faults.
