I was kind of thinking this morning as the
4:50 am bell rang, that it’s kind of fun and exciting to be a missionary for a
week, but it’s just one week and then I can go home. I’m tired, but I can do
this for a week... no problem. There are priests and religious all over the world,
who this is their life day in and day out. We have been coming to Honduras
since 2005 every year and although we did a lot of praying (so I thought), I
have a new appreciation of how much time the Friars spend in prayer since we
are also following their prayer life this time.
They always seemed so rooted in love (although not
perfect people). Now I can see that since they spend so much time in prayer, at the
source of Love, how they can live with such interior peace and joy. The prayer life supports them.
They sacrifice everything for the Kingdom
of God…for us. I can take great solace knowing that no matter what time of day
it is, somewhere in the world, someone is praying and most likely for us.
Maybe, each of us can pray for priests and religious for their perseverance and fidelity to their vocation.
God bless.....more tomorrow. It was a long but very blessed day today.
