It was a lovely day today, soft and bright, and just right for going to Holy Mass. Robert picked us up as usual and right on time, and Mini came along too, sitting so nicely like she always does.
Father LeRoy talked about how Jesus has all power in heaven and on earth—not just because He is God, but also because He became man and gave His life for us. He said Jesus doesn’t use His power to force anyone, but instead waits for us to love Him back freely. I liked that part very much. It made me think of how kind He is, even though He could do anything at all.
On the ride home, Robert, Sister Mary Claire and I talked about it some more. Robert said how comforting it is to know that nothing can happen to us unless Jesus allows it, and that He is always watching over us. It made the fields look extra peaceful somehow, like everything was being gently taken care of.
I’ve been excited because Sister Mary Claire helped me understand a morning prayer from the old book, and I made a little recording of it on the tape recorder. It felt special saying the words out loud like that.
Mini is doing just fine—she was very good in church and seemed happy all day.
It was a quiet, beautiful day, and I feel very safe in Jesus’ care tonight.
Evening Prayer
Dear Jesus,
You are so strong and so gentle at the same time.
Help me to trust You with my whole heart and to follow You freely because I love You.
Please watch over us tonight and keep us safe in Your care.
Amen.
Love,
Kathy
