Friday, June 12, 2015. Re-building bridges.breaking down walls. If we want to live a life of love of God,. We must not fail in our love towards our neighbor.". St Therese of Lisieux. For quite sometime, I've grown comfortable leaving a few notes to friends and "disappearing" for a long time without a trace. I was 'busy,' or at least I tried myself to be.

Midnight, I hooked into music and waited until my thoughts c. He came quietly into my life at the time I was 'ready to receive' love. The Essential Henri Nouwen. I felt my pulse come alive.

We ate "current issues" for breakfast same sex marriages, relationships, single parenthood, life back then and now. I asked how she and dad reached forty-one years together it wasn't an easy life. She said the younger generation either fears or eschews "sacrifice" and 'self-denial' those are important ingredients to family life sacrifice is the language of love. Cf Bishop James Conley]. The LOVE that surprises us.

Ahuv Sheli: April 2014
http://grazieadio.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 19, 2014. At the Foot of the Cross. There' He led me to ponder on His GREAT LOVE. Everything I am before Him was laid bare. I couldn't look at Him for a long time for I knew in my heart how much I have done Him wrong. And yet He continued to gaze on me, piercing me through with those same compassionate loving eyes. I slipped His fingers, I escaped His feet, I ran and hid, for Him I feared to meet. One day I passed Him, fettered on a Tree, He turned His Head, and looked, and beckoned me.
