Jesus was a lamb in accepting death,
a lion in bringing death to naught.
St. Augustine, 5th century
Hey, today is Glorious Mystery!

(Several minutes before the rush of activities, papers and emails coming in.. :D)
She was being called to give session about Brokenness to the youth in one parish. On that day, she agreed with full of obedience without even know what kind of input she should infuse regarding this very sensitive yet very real topic among the youths.
She kept praying and asked God, what He wants her to deliver. She was affraid to send the wrong message, or even worse, the input become too direct and will give negative impact to all. Weeks passed by and her prayer become more intense, she said " Help me, Dad.. I need to be able to relate in their brokenness, feel it and so that I can share with them how I could find comfort in You alone". God is amazing, but God can not be seen, for many of us (not only for the young age), find comfort in Jesus (The Father, & Holy Spirit) is merely a comforting words but yet very difficult to have experience upon. She, often, struggled the same thing in her growth of faith.
Amazingly God answered her prayer and she only just realized it this morning as she rose up, in the day of Glorious Mystery. God has taken away the dearest and the most wonderful thing she ever had, but yet something that she totally surrendered to Him. Jokingly, she said " Wah, Dad, You gave me the answer by using things that can be the easiest way to use by You. Something that has already belong to You, so no need to use effort".. =D.
Now, as if He say to her to use and to share the journey with others, especially those that He will send to her. Her brokenness, with grace from God alone, will become blessing for others. The exact way on how she should bring about in her session and in her life.
All glory and thanksgiving to Him alone!
Love in Christ,
Monique
