Dear Diary
This morning, Mini came with us as we rode to Holy Mass in Robert’s old green pickup. The gravel road was still damp from last night’s rain, and everything smelled fresh and quiet. Sister Mary Claire sat beside me, humming a little tune under her breath while Mini rested her chin on my knee.
Father LeRoy gave a beautiful homily after reading from the Gospel of Matthew. Jesus said that the Father hides things from the wise and learned but reveals them to the childlike. Father explained that it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t learn things—it just means we should never lose our wonder, our trust, or our littleness before God. He said that a heart full of trust sees farther than a head full of facts. I liked that very much.
On the way home, I looked out at the cornfields and wondered if Jesus was pleased with how I listened today. I think He was.
Evening Prayer:
Dear Jesus,
Help me to stay little in my heart so I can see You more clearly. Let me never grow too proud to be taught by You.
Amen.
Love,
Kathy
