Uhm... Yes?

"Ah, Lord GOD!" I said, "I know not how to speak; I am too young." (Jeremiah 1:6) Let your light shine through me, though I know how pitiable I am, I also know how great you are, and how beautiful you've made us all. May I be yours always, and may your will be done. Even when I and others think I am too young. I cry out with Samuel, not knowing who is calling, but saying nonetheless, "Here I am." (1 samuel 3:4). "Speak, for your servant is listening." (1 samuel 3:10)

Humility

Referring to the certified miracle which is required for sainthood, Dziwisz said: "The Holy Father didn't want to hear talk of such things. He would say `If by chance something should happen, God makes miracles, not me. I pray. These are mysteries. Let's not talk of these things.'

"But there were so many miracles which happened during his life," his longtime secretary said, without elaborating.

oh God, bless us with humility... love... and desire for You and Your will.

How much am I ready to claim the good things that happen through me? even if I know it can't possibly be me... and how often do I justify the bad, the dark, the sinful, as okay, something I might as well succumb to?

Johannes, ora pro Nobis!
