I am comforted...
This week we celebrated the one year anniversary of the election of Pope Benedict XVI. I attended daily Mass on Wednesday, and the homily contained one of Pope Benedict's first quotes after his election:
"The fact that the Lord knows how to work and to act even with inadequate instruments comforts me..."
I haven't been able to get this quote out of my head. It's one of those "refrigerator quotes" that we need to see on a daily basis. The past month has been a time of reflection for me, with moving back to Austin and finding myself once again going through a huge life transition. I haven�t felt grounded in ages�like I have roots and am settled in my life. I�m hoping in the months to come that I will get to that point.
As I�ve been reflecting on this quote and all the changes I�ve been going through during the past year, I feel comforted in knowing that God continues to work with me and through me to accomplish His will. I know I�m imperfect. I know I often fall short of what God expects of me, yet I can take comfort in His grace. Hearing that quote was just what I needed this week, and the message couldn�t have come at a more appropriate time.
