I thought the path would be longer on the bridge that connected the two continents.
These days, I was troubled. As I approached the high cliff, the sun was hidden from me. I walked in the shade. The cold was more insistent. Once mounted on the shore, I felt no particular emotion. I had yet to win two continents on foot.
I went into the cliff. A path had been laid out and snaked up to the summit. Torches illuminated the passageways carved into the rock. The heat was soft as a matrix.
I lead at the top. The wind, strong friend, makes me shake. Before my eyes: a crisp green expanse and the blue-green Sea of sight. On the left, I no longer distinguish the coast of the old continent. Nothing but the extent of solid stone bridge which has guided me so far.
Suddenly fatigue falls on me. I dream of being welcomed by the taciturn old man who lives in his stone house on the edge of the cliff. I dream to sleep beside the hearth. It opens me the door navy blue fades in front of me to let me enter.
I entered on a new continent. Benchmarks, and customs, the truth of the place are different. I must learn, as my inspiration. What new law governing the new territory to explore?
I must leave behind my old suspicion: God does not really want my property, and adhere to new legislation: God wants me to live fully, completely, pushing all that prevents me draw. God wants me to bear much fruit in abundance. And he'll guide me. I can still hear the voice of the old man in me who wants to hold me back, but I want to move forward powerfully. Audacity, my brother.
is a paradigm shift for me, I must now learn to live without a glass ceiling. Before I get on the roads of this new continent, I ask myself ...
This morning, meditating on the resurrection, I heard this question: do you live like a man again, with the help of my holy grace?
And I came across this meditation Maur of the Child Jesus (1617-1690) *:
"This is the soul to determine what she wants to do, and if she wants to seek the Kingdom of God. If she wants to win it in Jesus Christ from sin and the powers of hell, or crucify him again, after having seen and experienced its infinite kindness towards him. "
