24 Hours
In less than a day, my flight will be taking off. I’ve gone through various stages of nervousness, elation, and even fear in the past few days.
More than once I’ve asked myself, “what, are you crazy, Thom?”
Add to that the emotions that inevitably come with Holy Week – the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, Stations of the Cross, Good Friday – and you’ve got a real recipe for a roller-coaster.
Oddly, yesterday`s fast went a long way toward calming my jangled nerves. I’m feeling perfectly serene as I prepare for the Easter Vigil.
At least until tomorrow!
Good luck Thom, just remember the words of St Teresa of Avila, they got me through my Camino:
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
Buen Camino
