Human situation
“Love to be blind, since it is I who am leading you if you really want
to put your hand in Mine. Don’t you think fathers
are happy when their little girls leave everything
to them in simple tenderness?”

There are many impossible human situations, where the only thing one can do is show compassion, and simply be present in the path that has no signposts. Sometimes all one can do is to pray, understanding that what cannot be understood, has a deeper meaning that only God can deal with. to put your hand in Mine. Don’t you think fathers
are happy when their little girls leave everything
to them in simple tenderness?”

Not always an answer many are looking for.
The hard truth is that we understand little, yet we live out a mystery that has so much depth that we will never reach the end of it.
Jesus, in the chaos of his last hours, in his crying out on the cross to the father "Why have you abandoned me", still, never lost hope.
On the cross, we see our own souls, our pain, and yes, often, our feeling of loss and despair......yet we like Jesus, are asked to abandon ourselves into the hands of the Father.
"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit"
One day each of us will face that moment, our death,, let us prepare now by living out of our faith, seeking to become more loving even in the midst of the suffering that is so much a part of life.-Br.MD
