Daily Signet
I have put my feet down. But the challenge is being patient and willing to stand there that I might come to know when I am standing on sacred ground and act accordingly, and finally see the deaths that I must die. Standing no matter how long it takes. As Mother Mary Francis puts it, “We wait for what may come in God’s slow time. God’s slow time. Yes, because it is the only kind he seems to have. He waits for us, as we so often refuse to wait for him. Waiting is at once the sternest and gentlest of arts. It cannot be taught, and yet it must be learned.”
