believe that I am here

wonderful nuggets in a series of books i received as a gift from our DRE this year, very sweet and contemplative, perfect for a take-along to adoration this morning, which i did.

i'll be posting now and again thoughts from these books, the first of which is Believe that I am Here, The Notebooks of Nicole Gausseron, Book One. they are lovely, real. for today, this is for Gayla ~~

A friend confides in me. The load she has to carry and endure is so heavy that my heart aches as I listen to her. We are the the limits of what is human, on the brink of madness. I listen and feel faint for her.

++Nicole, believe that I am here.

So I simply and silently made this act of faith. Silently...Happy are those who can share their faith, their hope.

I was embarrassed to do so, Lord, so I said nothing about the riches I receive from you. All I did was what you told me to do: believe.

In the darkness, bereft of any human solution, I believe. You know how to dwell in the slience, Lord, so if that is what you will, play your part. All I can do is keep silent and call on you.

all any of us can do, at times, is keep silent and call on the Lord. praying for you, sister.
