#PrayTogether, entrusting ourselves to the intercession of St. Joseph, who knew precariousness and bitterness. Though he worried about the future, he knew how to walk through the darkness of certain moments, always letting himself be guided by God's will without reservation.
Fight rush hour traffic to get to the airport on time - check. Get a stellar deal in parking - check. Approach the check-in counter like a pro - check........my flight is delayed and there goes all my swagger.
"Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted" (Mt 5:4). Wise and blessed is the person who welcomes the pain that comes with love, because they will receive the consolation of the Holy Spirit,who is God's tenderness who forgives and corrects.#GeneralAudience#Beatitudes
@KatiePrejean @kaitbagley Thank you for sharing this as a resource! As a recent convert myself, I couldn’t have said it better than @kaitbagley - I too experience those same thoughts/feelings.
Reading the OT, learning about the exiles/invasions - makes me wonder - does each generation, of all humankind, use the lense of their own suffering to assume the worst is at hand? Seems to me that the pattern of announcing the “end is nigh” is present among each generation.
