simple advice for you

I ran across this wonderful video on the Aleteia YouTube channel and I want to share it with you. It’s short. It’s simple. It’s Truth, capital T.

I didn’t really begin to understand the Father’s love until I had children of my own. I gained a better understanding of my parents, and the unconditional love for my own children that wants nothing more than what’s good for them. How beautiful to love our children — how beautiful to be loved. How overwhelming good and beautiful to entrust ourselves to a loving God who will pick us up. Every time.

My prayer for 2016

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and that I think I am following your will does not mean I am actually doing so.

But I believe the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all I am doing. I hope I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

~ Thomas Merton
