“When God wants to teach divine lessons to a soul & speaks to her heart He leads her into the desert”
– Imitation of Mary
May (First month in British Columbia.)
“ My Lord, My God may you make me an instrument by anointing me with the wisdom that I may need in the places that you are leading me to.”
Late have I acknowledged you
Now that I’ve let you
Always have you known me
I felt a drop.
June
“ My Lord, My God unworthy as I, fill me with your Spirit and if you will…allow me to understand though I am just a mere servant.”
Late have I seeked you
Now that I’ve allowed you
Always have you loved and guided me
Or two.
July
“ My Lord, My God though I desire to know, I come before you humbled…knowing nothing. Only through You will I be able to gain a fraction of the insight and the knowledge that You may desire for me. May I know only what you maybe desire for me to know.”
Late have I turned to you
Now that you’ve revealed to me
Always have I pushed you away
Then it started to drizzle.
August
“ My Lord, My God you continue to seek me, you continue to fill me, and you continue to use me. May you grant me the sensitivity to seek counsel from you so your Spirit may enable me to see and choose justly the direction that will most glorify You.”
Late have I asked you
Now that I’m here
Always have you known
It started to rain.
September
“ My Lord, My God you know me, I am weak. Grant me the strength and the fortitude to endure and persevere despite the heavy cross.”
Late have I known
Now that it’s your birthday
Always did we share this month
And it continues to rain.
October
“My Lord, My God you fill be with joy, only because I have allowed you to and only because I have realized that you are the source of every joy that I have experienced thus far. May you install in me the piety that I may need so that every inch of me will desire to worship you completely…nothing less”
Late have I prayed this
Now with sincere love
Always was I skeptical
It pours.
November (My seventh month in British Columbia.)
“ My Lord, My God you have brought me here. Just a year ago, I would not have known that I would be where I am now. I lift up all my worries and anxieties to you from the fear of the unknown. May I be able to embrace the unknown, not with fear…but instead with fear of the Lord. Allow me Lord to grow in the virtue of hope and to continue to be confident in You.”
Late have I found you
Now that I love you
Always have you been with me
Mama
And I am soaked by His Grace that continues to pour through our Mother and which overflows unto me.
“When God wants to bless a soul & speaks to her heart He showers her with grace after leading her to the desert.”
