Today word came that another beloved RSCJ has gone to God. This has certainly been a time of loss, especially that of one whom I had known for over 60 years and who had been an important person in my life. Often when I am grieving I find it hard to pray. One day last week I came across a prayer card given to me by another dear one who has gone to God a number of years ago. "Be still and know that I am God". It became my meditation mantra for this time. And then a couple of days later in prayer came to me the lines from a hymn, "I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have called you aand you are mine". As I prayed these two lines the following came to me:

        Be
        Be who you are, a being I created; a being not a doing.

        Be still
        Be quiet in your mind and heart, let go of the worries, grieving thoughts, the plans.

         Be still and know
         Know that I am with you all days, days of joy, days of sorrow,
         I have called you and you are mine .

          That I am God  all loving, all forgiving, all sharing of my everlasting love for you.

           Be still and know that i am God.

Peace and love to each one,
