Stay weak
Our weakness compels us to trust.
The Father himself leaves us in weakness
to strengthen us in trust.
He could equip us better with charisms
but He does not.
Weakness is preparation for death.
In dying we will be weak.
Even the will will be weak, decimated by the suffering of dying.
Only trust in the Father's love will remain.
Just don’t stop trying
don’t stop turning to the Father
don’t stop longing to be more like Christ
to be one with Christ.
God gifts us so much
and we experience it as if He were taking everything from us.
(Fr. Benedikt Holota OFM /* 1922/,
notes from conversations with Fr. J. Ev. Urban OFM, 1964–75)
