Get Out of the Way

"My confidence is placed in God who does not need our help for accomplishing his designs. Our single endeavor should be to give ourselves to the work and to be faithful to him, and not to spoil his work by our shortcomings." ~ Isaac Jogues

The Feast of the Canadian Martyrs is on Monday. I am preparing a prayer time for the Pastoral Parish Council for Thursday and was gathering quotes that I might use during that time. This one spoke to me.

Lord, help me to get out of your way. There is so much good that we can do, but sometimes, we can do harm. I want to be faithful to your work in the busy fall schedule. Help me to listen well to you, Dear One. When I do falter, redeem my errors and shortcomings and let Your glory shine through in spite of it all.

Peace,

Suzanne
