I really liked the
verse, but doubt-
ed I’d find a suit-
able image. "Just
write it down,” The
Little Voice whis-
per-ed, and I did.
I read through the
rest of Morning
Prayer & came
up with one other
faint possibility -
in Case I had to
prevail by might
Just his one time!
When I came up-
on this image, God chortled; “Mary didn’t get pregnant by her-
self, you know, Louise. It wasn’t even an idea she could have imagined! Not did she make it to Bethlehem on her own strength - she’d have never gotten there! - much less through the rest of her life, of OUR life! Neither do you have to get through on grit or determination or self-well or might. Nor do those who are struggling with sorrow or uncertainty, who are, in the language of my youth, ”heavy laden.” Just let it go. I’m here. If I’da had a Novice Mis-
tress she’d have been Sr Electa, and I can hear her say-
ing, “You ain’t seen nuhtin’ yet!”
Se's been right thus far.
