It was good to see Danny for lunch. A chaotic time at the nursing home for my mother earlier, but I was able to get an anointing from Father L'Arche who was there. Good to be part of a network of holy people (the Suarez's were there too).
Danny and I talked about Living in the Divine Will - this recent Amazon-delivered book on Luisa Piccaretta was the jumping off point. How do you know if you are in the Divine Will or your will? Since I have been feeling better physically, I am wandering back to my old work. There might be possibilities to work with more Catholic teachers on science and I am now very intrigued again in putting forth my science inquiry ideas. I was reading the Breviary (not sure if I am at the right spot though - I never am sure of that), and I had an insight about Jesus and the New Jerusalem - those of us working forward in our lives to bring forth the Kingdom of God. Can my work in science education be part of those efforts - Dear Lord, please lead and guide me there. You know I love that type of work - but is it my will or yours?
Dan did have a good suggestion about visiting my mother more at Teresian and visiting with more of the seniors at her location. They are lonely and could use some time from someone who cares. He suggested asking to say a decade of the Rosary with them. I need to start making that a regular part of my journey.
Dad (Daniel Patrick O'Connor) is getting near death and Darren was able to get a priest to come in for the Last Rites. Dear Lord, prepare Daniel your servant for a holy death. We wander far in a very worldly world; help Daniel on his path to You, Lord.
