“…the spirituality of waiting is not simply our waiting for God. It is also participating in God’s waiting for us…”

                                     ~Henri J. M. Nouwen

For Reflection:

Ponder this quote. What does it mean to you? In what way(s) did God wait for Mary? How do I think He has been waiting for me? (Hint: One answer is found in tomorrow’s Grace Line) What is my response?

       I Forgave My Child’s Killer
I found Marietta Jaeger-Lane to be a remarkable woman. Remarkable not because she lost a daughter to a heinous and violent crime, but rather because she was able to do what Jesus commands us to do, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Mt 5:44). In that devastating and horrible time in her life, she displayed heroic virtue…Though she rarely expressed it verbally, she was seething on the inside…As time went on, however, Marietta realized that she had to find a way to work through these damaging emotions. She “wrestled with God” to find an answer.
