Week 2 of a series on a 30-Day Personal Retreat with the Litany of Trust, by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V., available here stpaulcenter.com/trust10/
Grace is in the present; there is no grace in the past or in the future. The challenge, though, is that we’re all professional escape artists. We can get antsy and we don’t know how to be present, which means we don’t know how to receive God’s grace. We’ve got to give up the hope of a better past — it has happened and there’s nothing we can do about it. We also have to stop living in a fantasy future that doesn’t exist — there’s no grace there, either. Jesus is Lord of our lives; the past, the present, the future. Trust him, and allow yourself to embrace today and all the grace he is waiting to give you here.

Jesus’s Favorite Things: Seeing the Unseen
How do you think Jesus sees us? Jesus’s heart desires to see us, to have the unseen be seen. But he doesn’t just want us to be seen as collected and consumed. Jesus likes us for us and sees us for who we are and how we want to be truly seen.

Building on Rock
