My friend Sarah posted “Our Lady of Medjugorje” (mostly about Eucharistic Adoration) at “Today’s Catholic Woman”/CE.
“What do you do for a whole hour?” she wondered as she went to her first EA appointment, in the wee hours of the morning. Armed with books and rosary, she went to sit in front of the Blessed Sacrament … and found the peace of Christ waiting for her.
As mothers we often forget to find the peace we need in order to pass it on to our children (who need to get it from us). Sarah’s is a timely reminder of that important fact. “Peace I give to you … not as the world gives, give I to you,” Jesus told His followers. “I will never leave you or forsake you.”
You don’t have to be Catholic to long for a tangible reminder of His presence in your life. If you’re in need of a little peace today, why not go and sit in Jesus’ presence for a while? Take the kids with …. Jesus loves the children!
How true, and why do we keep forgetting to enjoy the wonderful gift of visiting with the Lord? I had been worrying over an issue for weeks and finally yesterday after mass I asked my dh to take the kids get a doughnut while I went to the chapel. God is so good! I was filled with His peace, and finally knew what to do. Not only that, His peace stayed with me and I´ve been seeing His answer in different places. I just needed to give Him a little bit of my time.
