Someone whose writings are very dear to me said--
"The most productive time is the early hours of the morning when I pray--yet, I seem to be doing nothing".
Though I wish I could honestly say that I am up at dawn each morning--I am not. Only some days--but always I consider my time in prayer, with God and Our Lady most productive part of my life. In fact--if one looks at it realistically, that is the only real life we have. It is the only thing that matters though we may feel that life in general and our material life is ever so important--it is not.
What is strange--I was like this as a child. Loved everything about God--I remember walking to church by myself--I wasn`t quite 4. Where did all of this come from? How did it happen? Why was God so merciful to me? --I do believe it is all from the Holy Spirit--especially if we allow it to move within us, offer up ourselves and trust in Her Immaculate Heart.
Was I, am I a saint--so far from it. --and children are often not very happy about church , God and the spiritual life.--Now perhaps I am a child once more, we have come full circle. Is it age? Is it time? Is it spiritual maturity? I have no idea--but as the years go by I seem to be getting closer and closer to God--I think perhaps it is the work of The Blessed Mother--She is the mover and shaker of each life, if we allow Her.
I feel happy, content, grateful-- filled with spirit and the love of God. The mystery, the mystical--all manifesting, yet; also the new enlightenment, new light within me. It is like all coming together, like a beautiful piece of music or a piece of divine poetry. The orthodox, the old, the new and the contemporary versions of God--the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, the Creator and Our Blessed Mother---the most Holy Theotokos. All explained, all understood, within spirit--yet the mystery remains, for God--the Mighty One, The Immortal One, The Eternal One--who is is unfathomable--the Alpha and the Omega--!
Jesus I trust in You!
Immaculate Heart of Mary I trust in You!
