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.

Restoring Our Mission
What’s the mission that Jesus is calling you to do? We all have a mission that we are picked to do, and that mission should be something that we share with Jesus.
