Simeon told Mary that a sword would pierce her soul. Were you ever told something very hard to hear? I remember several times when a diagnosis or news of a tragedy made me catch my breath and call upon the Lord. Jesus, I trust in you.
Grace - the grace that Jesus received from the Father and which flows out to us - is infinite. No vessel could hold it all. If I could even fathom that grace being put to work in me, I hope I would act and be different from the retched creature I am. Receive the grace.
