I connected with the quote of Fr Richard's, but the rest of his quote, i.e., true faith is seeing a bigger circle in which we are all connected, all included, all loved, all blessed, is the equivalent of my impossible dream.
My life to date...looking back and remembering...feels perilously close to a revelation.
I do not recall ever determining that I was going to take an action whereby I would "walk into the unknown." As I look back, I can see my self-determined objective was simply to get what I wanted which I chose to believe was a need.
The first maybe half of my life "what I wanted" was what determined my actions. It was, however, "the worst thing that could ever happen to me" that lifted me...introduced me to the God of my own understanding, set me, my own mind, away from self toward Self, God...God's will, God's way.
In short, my inner self was opened to and welcomed by the God of my own understanding.
Looking back, I can appreciate my many stumbles, bumbles and feelings of unloved, unneeded, unwanted and unappreciated as determined by God for my benefit.

Today, I accept each stumble, bumble, mistake, or misstep that we make as caught by God and turned into a pearl beyond price. Our realization of that truth begins our still more spiritual growth. And repeatedly.
We are now and have ever been in God's loving care whether we know it or not.
Thank you.
