It is a lesson we all need – to let alone the things that do not concern us. He has other ways for others to follow Him; all do not go by the same path. It is for each of us to learn the path by which He requires us to follow Him, and follow Him in that path.
St. Katherine Drexel
In our efforts to share the good news of salvation, to guide those we care about, and to provide counsel to the doubtful or those who have yet to claim a belief system at all, there is a need to remember the power of silence. There is a humility we need to claim and own that acknowledges we are imperfect and will offer imperfect counsel, imperfect advice, imperfect support. We need the humility to let the Holy Spirit fill the space around our imperfections so that the words and actions we offer to others is suited to their path, to their call, to their journey with God.
