Blog Post 2/07/2022 – Beauty’s Embrace

Beauty’s Embrace

 

In his book The Invisible Embrace Beauty, John O’Donohue writs about the healing voice, “When suffering arrives at the door of your life, you feel lost and isolated.  Pain becomes more intimate than anything else.  This is when the companionship and support of family and friends makes all the difference.  Their presence beside you brings a grace of courage and hope.  It is a wonderful moment, then, when a voice of kindness and care reaches towards you….  The ability to care is the hallmark of the human, the touchstone of morality and the ground of holiness….  In kindness of care, the divine comes alive in us.” [pp.76-77]

 

Today take a few minutes to thank God for all the kindness and care people have given you throughout the years and become more aware of the kindness and care you are able to offer to others.

 

Jesus whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sister you did unto Me.

 

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.

St. Francis de Sales, pray for us.

May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.
