“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
Sometimes I judge that actions speak louder than words and for me this has been my experience of the popes. And yet even as I write these words my eyes become fixated on the words at the top of the page. Peter, who was so human that he denied knowledge of the One who died for him. In truth he followed the way of the Lord.
Why have I demanded that God speak and work in a straight line that I myself have drawn? Truth be told I am not really aware of the gifts that God has given to all of our former Popes. It’s not like I tried to get to know them at all. I look at the narrowness of many of those who are political leaders of our cities up to our countries’ leaders. We all seem to demand that the leaders listen to that which is most important to ourselves or to their selves. Yikes! We are demanding they be perfect in every way. And yet the smallest of these leaders tend to be the most humble.
In my walking with the Oblate Charismatic Family I have had to not only acknowledge that I have been called to trust the Beloved. This is a new insight, and taste of enlightened faith that I have become aware of in ongoing pilgrimage in hope of communion: …with God and all that I walk with.
