Our lives are interwoven; use me as You will. We are bound together, in You I am strong. Every strand of my life is filled with Your presence. In Your hands my life has purpose and meaning. Bind me close with cords of love.
Every age has a need of "the contemplative life," and ours is no exception to the rule. The soul needs a chance for spreading its wings, for looking beyond itself, beyond the immediate environment, and for quiet inner growth.
