and the long hard hills.
For the sound of a thousand conversations
scattered
along
the road.
For the people laughing and
crying and remembering
at the end.
But, mainly,
I wish you could have been there.
~Brian Andreas
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies..." Jn 11:25
“God’s will was not hidden somewhere ‘out there’ . . . the situations [in which I found myself] were his will for me. What he wanted was for me to accept these situations as from his hands, to let go of the reins and place myself entirely at his disposal.”
Jesuit Walter Ciszek’s (1904–1983)
