During the 6:00 pm rock mass last Sunday, Fr. Dave encouraged us once again to try to write a few lines about our encounters with Christ. It is so difficult to put things and thoughts and emotions into writing. Life is a struggle and sometimes quite burdensome. But I also know so far things could have always been worse. Just this morning on my drive into work, I feel like I'm being asked to really start promoting a prayer that I've repeated many times during my life when I am scared or stressed or grieving, and it always calms me down. Somehow I feel I should share St. Teresa of Avila's prayer, "Let Nothing Disturb Thee," with as many family members as possible, and even others.
So here is my Encounter with Christ through Teresa of Avila’s prayer in difficult times - hopefully if can be an encounter for you, too: Let nothing disturb thee Nothing affright thee All things are passing God never changeth Patient endurance Attaineth to all things Who God possesseth In nothing is wanting Alone God sufficeth -St. Teresa of Avila |
