Here are two passages from old homilies of mine. The theme
of each is: hope in time of trial. I hope they not only bring hope, but also
help for you:
1. Sometimes relief from the present difficulty
does not make life better. Sometimes the present difficulty is what is needed for a greater life to be revealed to us. Far
better to look through the suffering of the present to the reality which
is beyond, to look through the suffering to a possible meaning for it.
2.
This is the essential nature of the spiritual
journey for a child of God: to walk a path that God Himself has marked out for
us, a path which we do not walk alone even when it may seem as if we are
totally, utterly alone. Just take your eyes of your own dilemma or your own
difficult trek and look up and see before you the Lord who is with you.
