The way to the Promised Land was through the desert, where all they had to eat was manna, manhu, which means “What’s this?” (Ex 16:15). No wonder they sometimes yearned for the good old days of slavery, anything rather than this “What’s this?” But the book of Deuteronomy tells us plainly what was in the Lords mind: before the people could be fit to enter the land of his promise, they must learn that man does not only live my nice safe intelligible bread, but “by whatever proceeds from the mouth of God” (Dt 8:3), received in the only way that it can be received, by faith.

This is always the shape of spiritual progress. We are led out of that kind of order which is built up on sin. That does not necessarily mean a situation of evident outrageous sin, but a situation whose fundamental principle is self-assertion, self-creation, which is therefore sinful at the root, however virtuous its branches may appear.

And one is led out into the desert, into the place of “What’s this?”, the place where we are fed and tended in a way that eludes our comprehension, precisely so that we may learn to live by faith, by trust in the living God. And so learn not to be God ourselves.

The whole world of our creating must be dismantled, so that all the various bits – all of which were, after all, created by God – can be reclaimed by God and built back into his creation, glorified yet further by the incredible new dignity of the new creation, that new order built up on the union of God and man in Christ. Then we come out from behind the bush where Adam fled in hiding, and God will no longer have to ask, Where are you?” We shall be in his world, visible to him, shining in the light of truth!

Attending to the Reign of God in Our Midst

What shall we not do for the love of such a loving God, so generous that he has called us to follow him so closely and to continue the mission of Jesus on earth? Let us correspond to so great a love. Let us be generous, and remember that the salvation of the world is entrusted to our charity. We can do nothing because we are poor and weak, but let us have a lively faith and trust in him who strengthens us. Let us expand our hearts to help so many souls lying under the yoke of the king of darkness. With the fire of our love, let us break the heavy chains keeping them bound in the terrible service of the devil.

When we see our efforts are unsuccessful, let us throw ourselves at the feet of Jesus. Groaning over the world’s iniquity, let us beg his divine heart to lay bare his infinite treasures of mercy. Then let us return again to our work, without giving in to exhaustion. Hardships must never discourage the spouse of Christ; rather, they should make her stronger and more determined. Do not be dismayed by rejection and mockery. Go forward always, with the serenity and fortitude of angels, because you are the angels of the earth, and so must continue on your way in the midst of so many contrary influences. Everyone can be serene when things run smoothly; it is in difficult situations that fidelity and constancy are proven.
Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini

The more a man uses moderation in is life, the more he is at peace, for he is not full of cares for many things - servants, hired laborers, and acquisition of goods. But when we cling to such things, we become liable to vexations arising from them and are led to murmur against God. Thus our self-willed desire for many things fills us with turmoil and we wander into darkeness.

This was the best week I've ever spent. Sister Lucy was so holy and she rubbed some of her holiness on all of us. The boys were very well behaved, and we had a highly productive week. Looking forward to going again this summer.

This is for the priests of the church(I will not call you "Father" because we have one earthly father and one spiritual father, God). This is the time to teach your congregation about seeking salvation through the Lord, Jesus Christ-that good works is NOT what gets them into heaven, like they think. Also, I think Mary would turn over in her grave if she knew Catholics revelled her like they do(and I can say that, since I was Catholic for almost 37 years!). She would want the attention on her son, Jesus-and not on her. The Bible says that we are to pray directly to the Lord, not to Mary. Also, it says that we are to confess our sin to Christ directly, not to a priest(read New Testament!)
