I Put my Trust in You

A quote from Catherine McAuley:

You are a God of love and tenderness; I put my trust in you..."

Yesterday I was at a Jubilee celebration of sisters celebrating 75, 60 and 50 years of being a Sister of Mercy. The combination of years of service of these 8 wonderful women was staggering. These are women who placed their rust in God. They started some of our flourishing ministries. At the time they were started, the ministry was on a shoestring financially and just in the daily operation of the ministry. How much that trust was called upon and relied upon in those days! No less today, they still rely on God's tenderness. A couple of them are still in vibrant ministries, a couple are In reduced ministries and a couple are in full retirement, where the aches and pains of old age are part of their daily lot. They still rely on God, placing their trust in God's bountiful mercy.

As we go about our day we too have an opportunity to place our trust in God. It makes the work we do much easier and the successes more evident.

Today place all of your day into God's hands.
