aeternus

I thought I would pass along my homework assignment today. After a beautiful holy mass at the monastery this morning, Father (who is a visiting Carmelite priest from Oregon) gave us a “homework assignment” (which after he translated this statement means only a “meditation for the day”). He gave us 4 words for those who don’t like homework and 5 words for those who don’t mind a little extra credit. The words of the meditation are:

I A M W I T H Y O U

and

I A M W I T H Y O U A L W A Y S

Father mentioned that if we understand this and come to learn that our Lord is with us at every moment, in every situation and in every person, then we can not but walk in trust and love and faith as a true disciple of His Majesty.

Pretty good food for thought…

This photo is from Mepkin Abbey Chapel, a Trappist monastery near Charleston, South Caronlina. It is their Easter Cross. It was taken on our family trip to visit my husband’s parents during the Easter break. I really should write more about this wonderful piece of earth because it was truly marvelous…
