“What slows us down from receiving Christ is our intense (and at times unyielding) desire to understand God’s will. God doesn’t necessarily promise that He will reveal His will to us. What He does promise is even better: His promise to us is that He is constantly accomplishing it in our lives.” -Paraphrasing Archbishop Christian Lepine at Corpus Christi Mass.
The above message came before the Mass-goers filling the pews Mary-Queen-of-the-World Cathedral started a eucharistic procession in the Downtown Core of Montreal. At the front of the line leading was the presence of Christ exposed through a monstrance.
All throughout the walk, I sensed profound quiet of being led in this way. It was a surreal experience to feel the solemn and warm (we had candles) eucharistic procession contrasting with the bleak and austerity of St-Catherine street.
My simple reflection was this: An act of faith such as this one is not calculated. It is silent, but powerful. It derives from truth knowing that it is the Lord that leads.
There are so many situations in Mission that lead my heart to experience disquiet. Nights like these remind me that so long as I follow the Lord’s steps and pacing, nothing can stop His will from being accomplished, whether in service or in my life as a Christian. Trust in Him is a powerful Light that not only guides, but also enables us to move despite uncertainty.
