Dear Calixto,
This little pond is located on the other side of the tennis court here on our property here at Maryknoll in Cochabamba. It is actually below the parking lot near the Society house.
Hearts on fire
…there seemed to be a fire burning in my heart.Jeremiah 20:9
CNS photo/Tom HuntI wanted it.Desired it greatly.Yearned for its coming.
But when it did comeI fought, resisted,ran, hid away.
I said, “Go home!”
I didn’t knowthe fire of Godcould be morethan a gentle glowor a cozy consolation.
I didn’t knowit could comeas a blaze,a wildfireuncontrolled,searing my soul,chasing my old ways,smoking them out.
only when I stopped running,gave up the chase,surrendered,did I know the fire’s flamingas consolation and joy.
only thencould I welcomethe One whose fireI had long sought.
Trust that all is going well in your priestly ministry.
Have a nice Sunday.
Frank
