“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
Trust in God is what I am hearing, trust that God will give us what we need. Taché was young yet he allowed himself to be inspired and led by the Holy Spirit, becoming and being as sent by God (through Eugene).
I look at the pace of God in bringing me back into the Church and giving me the sacraments again. I no longer question why the Beloved waited so long: God is making use of me and the gifts I am given according to God’s own plan.
This past year I was asked to coordinate a team on the parish Synodal Journey. And I shared more than once that I and we needed to trust in the Holy Spirit in our endeavors to listen to our parish family and then be able to send that up to the Archdiocese, trusting that the Spirit would ensure that what needed to be said would make it up to Rome and be heard. And I asked how we could continue growing together as the bishops worked, but not waiting for that to happen. How was the Spirit leading us in this new way?
“Working Document for the Continental Stage – Enlarge the space of your tent” (Is 54:2). To read and realise that what we from all around the world were grateful for and what we thought was most important to us was shared by others. An exquisite gift of grace.
In five more days we will begin a new Church year, the start of Advent, a sacred time of hope and preparation. All in God’s time! Eugene sending out a very young man who had not yet completed his full formation. God waiting until I was almost 50 to open my eyes to the Oblates and for Eugene himself to invite into the family. God waiting for more than 50 years after the second Vatican Council to continue it’s work by calling for this Synod of the Bishops to take place.
No matter our age, we are all God’s children. “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.”
