We just celebrated the Feast of Our Lady’s Assumption into
Heaven. It’s funny, because it made me
ponder Our Lord’s Ascension into
Heaven rather than her own! I remember
once, as a teenager, how I meditated on “being with Him” during that time. I did not want to let Him go! But He kept promising me that He would never
leave me.
Now, after learning from St. Therese, I am practicing the
attitude of confidence; confidence
that Jesus never leaves me. Sure, there
are still plenty of times where I have to strive to put this attitude of trust
and assurance into effect, but I am building up these “spiritual muscles” of
grace.
Yes! (Or is it
no?) Jesus never leaves us. It is we
who tend to leave Him. It is I who am
saddened, thinking I am alone. But He
never is the cause for saddening me, because He really never left! Let us take another look at God as Father,
and know that He never abandons His
children- and neither will Our Lady.
