Timely

After I posted my I-have-no-time-wah-wah thoughts yesterday I read my daily devotion (which in truth I read about once a week, catching up on all days. Except yesterday. I was on time) and read this:

From the book Jesus Calling.

"July 31

Trust me in the depth of your being. It is there that I live in constant communication with you. When you feel flustered and frazzled on the outside, do not get upset with yourself. You are only human, and the swirl of events going on all around you will sometimes feel overwhelming. Rather than scolding yourself for your humanness, remind yourself that I am both with you and within you.

I am with you at all times, encouraging and supportive rather than condemning. I know that deep within you, where I live, My Peace is your continual experience. Slow down your pace of living for a time. Quiet your mind in My Presence. Then you will be able to hear Me bestowing the resurrection blessing: Peace be with you."

This was soothing to my heart. Peace be with you. And as we do at Mass, I turn to you my friends today to greet you and wish you a good day. Peace be with you all.
