"The time I have on the rocky edge runs thin. I'll have to descend soon enough, but for a moment I feel the grandeur of creation and my smallness in it. For a moment I have no worries, only the sense of God's abiding grace in the world. It is that sense to which all penance points—a clearing away, an opening to the light all around. It is the way of humility, the poverty of spirit, which lets us see it."
~from Learning to live Poorer, a meditation for Lent by Ragan Sutterfield
The joy of this evening's festivities and the great gifts offered to humanity: the priesthood, the Mass and the Eucharist, will be overshadowed soon by the betrayal of the our Lord.
I will spend an hour with Him in the Garden this night.
Lord, please speak to my heart tonight.
