Life is a journey. God sends us into this world to cross path's with each other. To touch and be touched. To see the beauty that is a gift to us. And to leave the world a little better than we found it.
Walk with me as I share stories of my journey and encourage you to also. Join me in celebrating the joy along the way, and take my hand as we feel our way through the moments of darkness. None of us must take the journey alone unless we choose to. And why would we choose to?
Pope John Paul II had a favorite biblical quote from Mark 14:42, "Rise, let us be on our way" recalling the words of Jesus to Peter, James and John in the garden of Gethsemane. It was John Paul's call to spiritual arms. To stop sitting on the sidelines of life as merely an observer and becoming player. God calls us all to do many things. Just watching isn't one of them. While we aren't necessarily called to take up a life of poverty and self sacrifice, helping the poorest of the poor like Mother Theresa, we are called to do little works, like St. Therese, the little Flower. St. Therese reminds us not to be overwhelmed by the great acts of the saints, but to find joy in the "little ways" of kindness we can offer eachother.
Walk with me and share the little ways we can make the steps of our journey more meaningful and leave footprints that others may follow. Rise, let us be on our way as we chart our new path through the wilderness that is life.
