“God understands us when we try to love.” — Dorothy Day, Activist for Women’s Suffrage/Social Justice.
I’ve been obsessed with angels of late. I seem to feel them around more than ever. Are they delivering something to me, or am I failing in some respect and it is believed I need guidance? Regardless, I am receiving them and I hope they like what they find. I am certainly not ready for sainthood, by any means, but I work on improving day after day.
I have studied the Saints and their deeds, and I know emphatically that ‘working at doing good’ is the avenue I need to walk. I believe it is important to remember that Holy people were human beings once, too. They were full of complexities and struggles, just like us. Yet, their lives were spent in service to others. It’s been said an extraordinary person is one whose inner and outer lives are in accord. When a person does in the world what his innermost being leads him to do, his life is in alignment with his purpose, and by that great things can emerge.
My new campaign of ‘I Can Do Better‘ is working in my daily life. I hope if you decided to try it on for size, it might be working well for you, too!
