The blizzard let up today, but it is still very cold, only single digits, and the road hasn’t been cleared, so we stayed home again.
Mini sat by the window watching the snow drift and flicked her little ears when the wind stirred. Everything outside looks quiet and white, like the world is resting.
Sister Mary Claire and I read the meditation about Pilate. He asked, “What evil hath He done?” and still let Jesus be punished.
I asked Sister why he would do that if he knew Jesus was innocent.
She said softly, “Because he was afraid, Kathy. He wanted to please everyone instead of choosing what was right.”
That stayed with me. I thought about how sometimes even I know what is right but hesitate.
Sister said that Jesus stood there quietly and took everything with love. She told me that loving Him means trying to stay calm and patient, even when something feels unfair.
The chickens were all safe and tucked in, and Omelette looked content on her roost.
Tonight feels very still. Before bed, we prayed, and Sister said part of the Divine Office. It made everything feel peaceful, like the whole day was placed in God’s hands.
Evening Prayer
O my Jesus, help me to be brave and choose what is right. Teach me to be patient and quiet like You, and to trust You in all things.
Love,
Kathy
