I am humbled by other people's vocations. They seem as if they would be impossible for me. Then i realise how God has prepared them, In each life is travail and suffering, and the urge to tell the world that Jesus is Lord is evident in my obscure existence the same as in all those marvellous people who had such incredible love for God, which empowered them to survive the worst the world can bring to bear.
My love for other people is also overflowing, and I need to love and to be another Christ in my own simple way. Then I see that we are all very great in our own way, the way shaped by Jesus, to move the immovable stones of the world, cold and hard hearts that will not be moved.
But I see Him moving those stones. They are not heavy for Him at all, and the more we are like Him, the more we can do empowered by Him.
Thus we also see the necessity of complying with His Will for the sake of other souls.
People are wounded and deformed by life from an early age, and some becpme obnoxious to the point that people cannot tolerate them, and they do great harm by their blindness and selfishness, even though they do not see it. My life, like all other lives, contain a remedy that heals, but it must be applied gently and with the Lord's loving hands. It may take a long time, even most of their lives. Participating in God participates in His sorrows and His pains and woundedness; He takes on the wounds of the world that are
causing so much suffering, and if we participate in God, we participate in His sorrows, because He immerses Himself in our suffering in order to transform us.
Do not underestimate yourself by judging your own value by looking at other people, but look at Jesus and ask what you should do. Then be ready to do what He asks.
If you do this, life will contain its own tranquility given freely by the Lord.
