The “Thought of the Day” is timely. I have just made a decision and Ms. Insecurity and Ms. Anxiety seek to sneak into my heart. But, I prefer the Presence of Jesus and Mary with total confidence; I let myself be enveloped in their peace, thanking them in advance to make up for everything and to allow their Providence, which has always been there for me, to be so.
I offer my prayer of abandonment and trust, praying the Holy Spirit to guide me in this new Path I have chosen, that of retiring, even though it entails a significant financial loss. I have reached my retirement age, and this is the starting point of a vocation whose outlines are still vague, but resolutely turned towards the Lord. I hope that this choice is good in His eyes and that it pleases Him, because I’m happy to do His will. I feel called to leave this job and I choose to listen to the voice (and way) of the Holy Spirit inside me. I’m still a little scared, but Jesus is there in the boat, and when things get bumpy, I rest on His shoulder and fall asleep with Him. It fills me!
