The end of the year - this is the picture that I must use for 2020! It graced my Christmas card as, even though I added the two missing myself, it is all of our domestic Church together around my wonderful father, who left this world for the next on October 23rd after 6 months sharing his light here with me daily on the farm!
I am soon on the road to Nancy's to help them out as they are soon to launch their Domestic Church Project. My world has been turned upside down by my Most Cherished Cross wanting to get the grandkids together. How he loves that! What was to be a quiet drive in my chapel on wheels has now become grandkids going up and coming back and Pat behind the wheel!
The Gospel today made me groan with amazement at the power and majesty and Truth!
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things came to be through him,
and without him nothing came to be.
What came to be through him was life,
and this life was the light of the human race;
the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it....
And the Word became flesh
and made his dwelling among us,
and we saw his glory,
the glory as of the Father’s only-begotten Son,
full of grace and truth.
Dad is rejoicing in heaven with mother... I know!
His man, Brother Victor today is amazing and dad is right there with him! "All time is God's time." while we are on the narrow path stumbling ahead dragging our Most Cherished Cross!
Read it and weep as we share in this monks life of leaving behind all earthly things and focusing on heaven forever! Hear my prayer, O Lord, and I will still cling to those beads in my crazy chapel on wheels as we head down the road to more family today! Give me the strength to be loving and caring no matter the challenges that come to me. You are my LOVE/LIFE/LIGHT given to me as I embrace my Most Cherished Cross. Bless-bless, Barbara
