This morning as I was praying the Gospel, where Jesus promises that He will send the Holy Spirit, I heard a dove outside in the tree, calling, and a ways away there was another dove answering. It was such a beautiful gift from the Lord, through creation. One voice calling, and another answering the call. Lord, may I always hear and answer the call of your Spirit, the spouse of my soul.
Come Holy Spirit.
Later I was praying through the Awakening Love retreat, and the image was one of Jesus helping us on the path, which is aften difficult and rocky, sometimes very steep.
I thought of all the "rocks" that I have seen as stumbling blocks on the way. Sometimes I have climbed them and even cursed them, but it's funny how, when you look back, they don't look like obstacles, but like stepping stones.
The Lord has asked me to follow him, to let him carry the pack and walk in His steps.
The view from the top is going to be wonderful!
Reading the Lord of the Rings, I had a thought about the language of the Angels, which are represented by the Elves. They have a beautiful language that is from all eternity.
The language of Heaven is given to us by the Holy Spirit. The gift of tongues.
Frodo was able to speak the language of the elves. I hope someday to be able to hear the language of Heaven, and understand.
