Later ‘man in a van’, happened to be sitting in company I was invited to join. Turns out he happened to be an Electrician and wouldn’t you know it! I happened to badly need some advice on my smart metre readings and smoke alarms. God knew!! He set it all up, glory be to God.
When Holy Spirit whispered the words; ‘You mind mine and I will mind yours’ into my spirit one night as I lay sleeping, I thought He meant my ‘people’. Today, while chatting with gracious Electrician, it began to dawn on me that Holy Spirit was speaking of my ‘problems’ too. Wow!!
Praying Holy Rosary in Church, elderly gentleman and his adult son (Downes syndrome) came and knelt near Holy alter. Together they prayed aloud three Hail Mary’s and Glory be to the Father…. Arising, they genuflected and on their way out I got to thank them both from my heart. Sacred snippet!
On my way home, (How I love going home), young African father tells me that he needs a bicycle for his upcoming two weeks work experience some distance outside of our town. My friend Mike is happy to oblige. Young African guy so so thankful. Prayerful faithful guy, I told him that God found him a bike! ‘Yes’, he replied. ‘God found me a bike through you because you allow yourself to be used by God’. What a beautiful compliment and privilege.
Our Faith-filled African visitors, known to all and sundry as Asylum Seekers, are in actual fact Missionary Disciples sent by God to our post-Christian secular land. I believe it with all my heart. Time will tell!
Every day I touch Jesus beautiful Feet on Station of Holy Cross above. Others, witnessing, do it now too. Jesus Feet and mine are one and the same! I touch Mother Mary’s Hands with mine so her beautiful Hands will be mine too.
With Jesus Feet and Mary’s hands, hard things become easier!
Thank you Mother Mary for urging us to pray Holy Rosary. Meditating on beautiful Jesus in your gentle maternal presence moves me, more and more, to love and live like Jesus.
