In Jack’s turmoil time I always tell him that and right away he relaxes, repeating aloud; ‘Everything is fine’. No, we are not pretending everything is perfect! We are simply taking the broad view. Things are not where we would like them to be but in the Gladsome Light of Christ order will surely once again be restored. Everything is fine!
Every time I invite Mary, deep in Alzheimers, to pray one Hail Mary aloud in our St. Anne’s Holy Rosary group, she sobs as she willingly lovingly prays. Stroking her beautiful hair, I tell her all the time that ‘everything is fine’. She smiles and nods, still praying, still crying.
Let us begin an ‘Everything is fine’ epidemic. Might just be the breathing space another needs to catch their breath and begin again.
My text back to John; ‘Everything is fine Jack, all the time. We are in God’s Good Hands’.
‘He/she who carries God in his heart bears Heaven with him wherever he/she goes’. (St. Ignatius of Loyola)
Having scribbled the above I made my way to pray 3PM live-streamed Holy Rosary in Church. Afterwards, Mother and young son came in and I offered them my powerful prayer. All three of us prayed my prayer together and then I shared with them Holy Spirit wisdom to my deepest heart one time as I shared my prayer with another young man: ‘I cannot tell you nothing will be wrong, but you’ll be strong’.Mother repeating my words, gazed lovingly on her son saying; ‘He didn’t want to come in to Church. He actually stayed in the car but I went to fetch him’
Young man looked surprised and happy. He will pray it every morning, he told me. ‘It will be like you are drawing a cozy blanket filled with Heavenly Blessings around you and your family’, I told him.
Hard to articulate such an amazingly beautiful impromptu encounter straight from Heaven above. Our God is a God of surprises! Yes, everything is fine, all the time. Amen.
‘Refuse to look at the waves. Know that with you eyes on Me you can override all storms. It is not what happens that matters, but where your gaze is fixed’. (Jesus/God calling2)
((I read the above this morning. After scribbling the up above yesterday!! Divine confirmation))
