How do you build your house of prayer?
Walking in the joyful mysteries and the sorrowful mysteries of life is a place where I look around me and see the reality before me — the divine within each of us. Where somehow I am given the courage to help carry a person’s cross with them. It might be be through a smile, a spot on scripture or prayer or giving up my schedule to help someone in need. It was taking a break from my career to help carry my husband’s cross of illness.
These times build my house of prayer and by my acceptance become my joyful mysteries.
They are my praise. They help me know myself and identify my needs. I become Christ’s hands and feet to support others on their journey. They help me advance in learning how to love.
Lord, thank you for drawing me into your school of love. I’m grateful you show me how to fully live in the joyful, sorrowful and glorious mysteries of life. Living life with your presence. Amen
