The Path

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary

October 7th 2007

I have found over the last year or so that Our Lord chastises those He loves. The chastisement serves to steer us back into communion and relationship with Him. When you are on the right 'path' and are following your destiny, so to speak, there are always signs which affirm you are taking the correct course of action. On the wrong path there is only silence and disaster and it is by this disaster that Our Lord gently steers us back to Himself. Prayer, especially before the Most Blessed Sacrament is essential to keeping us on the correct path. It is the gentle, beautiful guiding light, the invisible tether to God without which we cannot steer. We are made for prayer and adoration. Our whole being is designed by God to recieve the Word. To follow the path He has laid for us we need prayer, trust, obedience, simplicity and purity. To have nothing in your heart which prevents the flow of His grace. Then you begin to see, dimly at first, but eventually by a different light entirely and you realise that before there was only darkness.
