We should be happy if we know God would be glorified in everything we do. Thank you Mary for your beautiful reflection.

I totally understand you. The reluctance of letting go of your dreams and things you are doing, for the things you know God wants you to do. But God will always put you in a place where you would be happy. So never fear.

Mary, I always love your reflections. Your words today about our gifts are so helpful to me. I spend a lot of time wondering what mine are. This reflection gives me a lot to think about. Thank you!!

Hey Mary! I hope you keep your writing your reflections; they have been of value for me in my understanding and further reflection of the daily readings. To me, your reflections are not “ordinary” but instead remind me of Mother Theresa’s wisdom, “We can do no great things, but small things with great love.”

Mary, that was a beautiful reflection. I feel you’re saying your goodbyes.
I am stuck and often fall back on this prayer for comfort.
God bless you.

Oh My God, you have created me do some definite service. You have committed some work to me that you have not committed to another. I have my mission; I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. I will trust you, whatever, wherever I am. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve you. If I am in perplexity, my perplexity may serve you.

If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve you. You do nothing in vain. You know what you are about. Though friends be taken away, though I feel desolate, though my spirits sink, though my future is hidden from me, yet I will trust you, for you know what you are about.

Amen to all of the comments today, especially to your writing and giving of your self. As a divorcee of 2 months I have spent months discerning my next ministry. The “hallmarks” of a likely gift is so very helpful. Thank you!

What do you want of me Lord?

What a nice question to ask.
Personal yet Godly.

Thanks Mary, continue the best you do. You have help a lot of us. Never mind those who feel they are good and bitter, he may do not know how to ask the Lord, What do you want of me Lord!

Keep up the noble work and insightful writings you do!
God uses your being to reach every reader – the whole world!
