Why Is There Suffering?  Can We Do Much To Lessen Our Sufferings?  All Suffering Cannot Be Avoided - Suffering Is Given To Us To Move Our Souls.  No, It Is Not Easy To Go Through Suffering - It Is Painful.  Yes, God Could Save Us From Suffering, But, He Knows That The Infinite Goodness Our Souls Learn And Grow From In The Difficulties, Losses, Hunger And So Much More.  I Know What It's Like To Suffer, I Have Been There - Alot - If But For A Moment I Opened My Book And Gave The Pages Of My Life To Others To Read. But, That Is Not Why I Am Here.  I Am Here Because As A Friend Who Is On Her Own Soul Journey I Can Simply Walk Alongside You Offering A Quiet Support, A Word Of Encouragement, But Mostly To Show You Him ~ He That Choose Us Unconditionally And Without Reserve.  It's What You Do In Suffering And How You Come Out That Gives Who You Are Of Any Worth - It's Not Easy Because When We Are Born - We Are Born And Given A Name That Our Family Gives Us - We Go Through Our Entire Life - Living And Breathing, Making Mistakes, Making Mistakes, Sometimes Not, But When We Are Drawing Our Last Breath - What Do We Take With Us? Our Name...

ACCEPTANCE 1



When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud

And goes down burning into the gulf below,

No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud

At what has happened.

Birds, at least must know

It is the change to darkness in the sky.

Murmuring something quiet in her breast,

One bird begins to close a faded eye;

Or overtaken too far from his nest,

Hurrying low above the grove, some waif


Swoops just in time to his remembered tree.

At most he thinks or twitters softly, 'Safe!

Now let the night be dark for all of me.

Let the night bee too dark for me to see

Into the future. Let what will be, be.'

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND ~ (ORIGINAL POEM 1936) 2


ONE NIGHT I DREAMED I WAS WALKING ALONG THE BEACH WITH THE LORD. MANY SCENES FROM MY LIFE FLASHED ACROSS THE SKY.

IN EACH SCENE I NOTICED FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND. SOMETIMES THERE WERE TWO SETS OF FOOTPRINTS, OTHER TIMES THERE WAS ONE ONLY.


THIS BOTHERED ME BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT DURING THE LOW PERIODS OF MY LIFE, WHEN I WAS SUFFERING FROM ANGUISH, SORROW OR DEFEAT, I COULD SEE ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS, SO I SAID TO THE LORD,


“YOU PROMISED ME LORD, THAT IF I FOLLOWED YOU, YOU WOULD WALK WITH ME ALWAYS. BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT DURING THE MOST TRYING PERIODS OF MY LIFE THERE HAS ONLY BEEN ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND. WHY, WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST, HAVE YOU NOT BEEN THERE FOR ME?”


THE LORD REPLIED, “THE YEARS WHEN YOU HAVE SEEN ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS, MY CHILD, IS WHEN I CARRIED YOU.”


MARY STEVENSON, 1936

Day 01 — HERITAGE  (C O M M U N I C A T I O N) "We Can Mend Shattered Pieces" Baby Steps Into Communication With God *Original Publication 12.31.21-2.14.22Excerpt From Chapter 6: The Loveliness Of The Hail Mary."

Intro into Communication Chapter 2 (1)


The Loveliness of the "Hail Mary" of all the prayers to the Mother of God, we should pray the Hail Mary with special preference ~ because it is the most pleasing to Her and gives Her unspeakable joy. 


As the "Our Father" was composed by Christ and so the "Hail Mary" was given to us by the Most Blessed Trinity - From all eternity it was born in the bosom of the Most Truine God, sanctified and sweetened therein and in time placed in the lips of the Archangel Gabriel.


He who prays the Hail Mary utters not a human or natural prayer but a divine supernatural prayer - a prayer in which every word carries a Heavenly Power.  What prayer could be more pleasing to the Mother of God than that composed in Her honor by the Blessed Trinity and transmitted to Her by the Angel.  

                                      

By no other prayer has She been so highly honored never was so much joy and sweetness imparted to Her as by the Hail Mary - for when She first heard this salutation She became the Spouse of The Holy Ghost, The Mother of God, and The Most High Become Incarnate in her bosom~

The Peaceful Shepherd 3 If heaven were to do again,

And on the pasture bars,

I leaned to line the figures in

Between the dotted stars,

I should be tempted to forget,

I fear, the Crown of Rule,

The Scales of Trade, the Cross of Faith,

As hardly worth renewal.


For these have governed in our lives,

And see how men have warred.

The Cross, the Crown, the Scales may all

As well have been the Sword.

Day 02 — God Love His Children (C U L T U R E) The Gift of A Child. Excerpt From Original (c) The Gift of A Child - January 23, 2022 *Not for the Weak of Heart


Advert for a colorful walk intro


 

In our pathway in becoming someone that knows and loves God be gentle with yourself ~ flaws and all.  We must remember that we all have a Saint Mary Magdalene in us, a St. Augustine, we all have a St. Paul or a St. Joan of Arc or St. Thomas Aquinas or maybe that of doubting Thomas (Thomas the Apostle) or St. John that stood at the foot of the cross when Jesus was dying and said "Son behold Thy Mother" and "Mother behold Thy Son" and that of St. Peter in us ~ even St. Peter denied God, three times to be exact - the shame he felt must have been unbearable - but do you know what?  He loved God so much that God raised him - St. Peter "The Rock on Which I Will Build My Church Upon".  We all have the Adam and Eve in us - But, God forgave them too - 


Well, until next time -  God bless you, Peace to you,  Stay strong,


 Stay safe,  and know you are Never Alone -


                                                                                     ~Mea~
