Dear World,

Olivia is wonderful because she joined my blog. (But not only because of that.)

And in honour of her I'm going to share with you all something written by a lady whom Olivia loves very much (I share the sentiment, btw).
It goes with the theme of abandonment, surrender... that good stuff.

"Let us remind ourselves and remind one another by our manner of living that there is peace only in complete surrender. We will never find peace in a partial surrender, a grudging surrender. But we will find it as a work of love in complete surrender. We will find rest and fulfillment in being totally occupied with what we are called to do, with what we have promised to do. Keep always that posture of the heart, adoring before God, adoring before his holy will. 'I admonish, and pray, and exhort you,' my daughters, and my own poor self, that we love in complete surrender, that we be totally occupied with what we are called to do, and that by faithful practice we keep always the agility of the heart to fall prostrate in adoration of God and his most dear will. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."

-Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C.




Happy St. Joseph's Day!
