Okay, not directly from 'Il papa', but I had one of those moments yesterday. Even when it's just something you needed to hear and didn't know, it's nice to feel like the Father aligned the cosmos just to bring you a little reminder. It makes you feel special, as you should.
I had been having a rough time lately, and made it just in time for daily mass at noon (it's wonderful that I work next to a church and can pop in as part of my lunch break). It's always refreshing to be at mass, but when the priest began to say, "When people, especially us men, like to be in control of things around us, and when things tend to get out of control, that's when we are at our most distressed..." it was exactly what I needed to hear (chills and all), to remind me that I'm not always in control, but that I can depend on His Divine Providence to show me the Way.
So, naturally, everything melted away and I've been much better ever since. I'll continue to work on not getting so worked up. I just have to go with it; it's not my path, but I've got to follow it to where it leads.
Let us take some time and see if we can put our feet back on the pathway that leads Home, and not so much on our personal pathway that just goes in circles.
And I did receive a signal grace (at least I think) the other day, another good reminder.
Happy Wednesday,
Nick
