"A song of ascents. Of David. LORD, my heart is not proud; nor are my eyes haughty. I do not busy myself with great matters, with things too sublime for me. Rather, I have stilled my soul, Like a weaned child to its mother, weaned is my soul. Israel, hope in the LORD, now and forever." Psalms 131:1-3
Psalms 131 - At Rest. God paints a wonderful image with His words that helps us understand our journey; a weaned child. A weaned child stays within reach of its mother yet it takes what it has learned and ventures out into its world. Our soul needs that knowledge that God is near by and there is union with Him. A child that goes beyond its mothers reach loses its sense of peace, becomes frightened and begins to loose control. Knowing what is yours and what is Gods, stills the soul for it is God that will allow you to venture out, go too soon or too far and you will be unprepared.
What is God saying to me: Is it the spiritual food you seek or is it I you seek, I Am always within reach when we are in communion and with this you always have peace.

Dear Lord, I trust in You, not always receiving but still within sight. You know what is best and when the time is right, with this confidence, I will trust in You. Like a weaned child, I grope about with the knowledge that You are right there, let's see what this day has to offer. Prayers of thanksgiving for answered prayer, for Peace that resides within and for hope for tomorrow. Keep Your watchful eye upon us and may we be a pleasing offering in Your sight, Amen.
Mary, Mother of the Child Jesus, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
