strengths & weakness.perfection & imperfection


Listening to guest speaker - Catholic priest and Chaplain extraordinaire Rev Fr John OcConner again this week who spoke on prayer - what do we think we are doing.
At the end of the session he asked if those who took notes would put them away for 48 hours and just sit with what the Spirit is doing in our hearts. I obediently tucked my notes away Wednesday afternoon and have been looking for them ever since ! Some things I am still mulling over, in particular John spoke about Jesus Incarnate in the manger. That God meets us in the reality of our lives and dwells with us there - wherever that is for us, and that sometimes we feel worse when we have met with God, but I want to add that meeting with Jesus will allways bring an invitation to life and hope. I dont quite know how to bring in these wrestling figures ( I found these guys lined up on my bench) to the story, maybe comparing their supposed strength, to the reality of my own humaness.
