"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do." (Pope Saint John XXIII)

Words of wisdom! Too often we live in our fears, frustrations and failures rather than in the present moment, open to the grace of each moment. The fears, frustrations and failures create a cloud of hopelessness and uselessness. The grace of the moment enables us to see the light in the midst of the darkness, our purpose in the midst of aimlessness, the possibilities in the midst of sameness. It is God's desire that we be attentive to and embrace the grace of each moment. For these will lead us into his will, where we will find ultimate fulfillment. The journey may seem long but the destination is eternal.
