Feast of Philippine Duchesne Nov. 18th |
WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM HER?
What have we learned from her? The value of a steadfast purpose; the success
of failure and the unimportance of our standards of success; the power
of grace released by deep, divine desires and simple duties daily done;
the old, unearthly, stark, unwelcome fact that God is the worker, we the
tools, so that God often takes the keen edge of our choice plans and uses
it in God's own way, not ours, producing wonderful results entirely beyond
our understanding - but only if the handle of the tool is smoothed and
rounded to God's hand by sacrifice and prayer.
