Back Home Again

This is truly a remarkable advent adventure. I have lived on a pendulum all of my life-swaying one way towards the sickness and the other towards the healing- then back to the sin, then back to confession- this, all of my life long, all of different durations- months, days, weeks. But the more that I fight, the stronger I feel. I am currently back home again- back in God's blanket of love and mercy, free from all that I was wont to do, and embracing what HE wills me to do. As Augustine put it, " Where had my power of free decision been throughout those long weary years, and from what depth, what hidden profundity, was it called forth in a moment, enabling me to bow my neck to Your benign yoke and my shoulders to Your light burden?"
I pray for all of my struggling brothers and sisters. May we all bow our necks...bow our heads and bend our knees. I pray for all of us in this battle.
Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio.
