Even More Meek and Humble

To truly appreciate Life

we need the blessings,

we need the lessons

of the mystery of Love.

“Jesus comes not in a tumult,

but as silently as sunshine

floods the fields,

as sweetly as the flower

breathes its perfume” [1]

He holds our hands,

He wipes our tears,

He soothes our hearts,

He frees our souls,

He makes us one.

“He wants our generous service

and whole-souled love.

He wants us to learn

His precepts, His doctrines,

and to mold our lives accordingly.”[2]

We owe Him

awareness…

gratitude…

submission…

penance…

amends.

He wants us to…

“Learn of me,

because I am meek,

and humble of heart.” [3]

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
