In light of the election of Donald Trump as President of the United
States
I was looking about for some
words of consolation today, and I came upon a brief reflection I had written
back in June of 2015. I share it with you now:
“I will lead the blind on their journey.
By paths unknown I will guide them.”
(Isaiah 42)
A few months ago I was praying for things to turn out a
certain way. Well, they didn’t. And so, once again, like so many other times in
my life, I am walking on ground I have not walked on before. Just like Abraham,
and Moses, and the Blessed Mother, and the apostles, and so many of the saints,
and in the lives of countless ordinary people who have been led in directions
they never would have planned for or predicted or perhaps even wanted.
It is sacred ground we are traveling. As I’ve said so
many times before, it is simply our task to keep going and to bow before the
mystery, and, above all, to place our trust in the One who alone is worthy of
all our trust.
May the Lord continue to guide us, as He has at every
moment of our lives in the past.
