St. Matthew wrote [in Chapter 17 of his Gospel], “Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
The Lord wants us to move the daily mountains we meet throughout our lives, our daily obligations and burdens, as well as the joys and sorrows we encounter on our earthly journey. The mountains we moved each day as we grew into adulthood, parented our children, cared for elderly parents, prayed for family, friends, neighbors and others as they move their mountains.
Trusting in the Lord is not a once and done decision but a daily commitment to give God “the good we do each day and we accept the difficulties of each” [the mountains] for love of God. The mountains move when we offer our actions each day to God for His blessing, and conduct ourselves “… in a manner pleasing to the Lord.” [Direction of Intention, St. Francis de Sales]
May God Be Prayed.
