Chiming Bells

gracelinesheader

“God always gives a greater blessing toPride humility-and-the-limitations-of-success-28-638 humble beginnings than to those that start with the chiming of bells.”

                            -St. Vincent de Paul

 

For Reflection:

Thank you, St. Vincent de Paul. You have helped me to see better the value of that which I see as so small and so insignificant! Lord, I give you all my “humble beginnings,” all of my “small starts.” Do with them what You will. Amen.

Chapter One   Page 17-18 The Special Call and Gift of Woman The Reality of Spiritual Motherhood Just as physical life roots and grows in the female body when sperm and egg meet, so spiritual life roots and grows within the feminine soul when the seed of faith is planted in the sacrament of baptism.  Just as our bodies are filled with new life when we conceive a child, so our souls are to be filled with the life of God.  Just as the womb swells with the growth and development of our child, so the womb of our heart expands with the love and mercy of God.
