“If we saw the Church as she is in the most generous souls who live most truly the life of the Church, she would appear most beautiful in our sight, despite the human imperfections which are mingled with the activity of her children. We rightly lament certain blots but let us not forget that if there is sometimes mud in the valley at the foot of the mountain, on the summits there is always snow of dazzling whiteness, air of great purity and a wonderful view that ever leads to the eye God.” Reginald Garribou-Lagrange
Every so often in my spiritual readings I run across something especially beautiful, beautiful and beautifully written. I’m inspired and humbled. A wonderful reminder that although I’m compelled to spiritual writing myself God didn’t give me a gift such as He gave Garribou-Lagrange. This realization saddened me but then I understood and was glad. I asked God for the gift of humility. If I could write this beautifully it would be hard to be humble and when I do receive the occasional praise on one of my writings I smile and think maybe, just maybe something I wrote inspired this appreciator of my simple text to a greater love of God which is my purpose in writing in the first place, a greater love of God for myself and for others. “Thank You Jesus.”

About the Author
Years ago, I suffered from severe anxiety and had many worries. I suffered and was distant from God for almost two years. Finally, I accepted the grace God had been giving me. Jesus loves me unconditionally. I need to love Him unconditionally as well. Jesus and I made a covenant a few years ago when I accepted Him back into my life. I made a promise never lose sight of Jesus again, to keep Him in my life forever. Jesus to help me keep my promises by giving me reminders. Now I’m happy. I understand that every challenge God placed in my path has been for my benefit. There are no obstacles in my path to heaven, unless I choose to take what God gives me and turn it into an obstacle. And though I’m not completely where I need be in trusting Providence and in doing God’s will, this is my life goal. Everything makes sense with God. I desire to share the joy I have in knowing Jesus with others.
