I don’t know how your week has been, but mine has been very busy. So busy, in fact, that I still have the majority of my “To Do” list in tact.  Weeks like this can be disheartening.

And yet, it is part of the human experience.

Even among the saints.

St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, for example,  apparently had a week or two like this from time to time. She gives us good advice.

She said:

“When night comes, and retrospect shows that everything was patchwork and much that one had planned left undone, when so many things rouse shame and regret, then take all as is, lay it in God’s hands, and offer it up to Him. In this way we will be able to rest in Him, actually to rest and to begin the new day like a new life.”

I am going to take her advice, and begin again …

Next week.

For now, I’m going to take a rest!
