Good reflection, and I see your point, very well crafted. I just have an issue with the story. If the teacher felt sorry for the boy, why did she assign him this role? Why not use a prop? What’s next? Some children play the straw that the baby Jesus lay on as part of the Christmas play?

Beautiful, thoughtful reflection. It is so true that without everyday prayer we can block our opening in our heart little by little, rock by rock until we have a boulder to move. God is so good to us and loves when we spend time in prayer to him. Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Thank you, Dan! That’s exactly what I needed to hear. I have been trying to work on a specific behavior on my own with no success. And you just reminded me that if I ask for God’s help, He will help me remove this heavy rock. Thank you! God bless!

A powerful reflection. It is an assignment to ensure to my God that the rock is rolled away from the entrance.Where my strength is ebbing, God is always with me to provide extra techniques of rolling it as long as I pray for help.

A great reflection. As simple and complicated as can be…but right on. Thank you Dan, I’ve got a rock to move.

Thanks Dan for such a wonderful piece!May God grant me the divine assistance to learn to roll away the rocks that keep Jesus away from living within me so that the joy in heaven will increase.
