Something To Aim For?
Here's more follow-up to our recognition of the incredible work of St Peter Claver we have noted in the past - something to aim for. Father Willie will express this something: constant union with God. For us pilgrims on the road to sanctity, union with God can seem something either impossible or incredible. Frankly it's not always clear just what this might be. But a first step in wrapping our minds around this should be dropping "impossible." It's clearly not. Many saints (all?) did experience this. Now if we're tempted to adjust "impossible" to "impossible for me," don't do it. It's understandable, of course. We might even think it's simply "realistic." What? Me a saint? But all that means is that the road to sanctity lies ahead and we're not there yet. It shouldn't mean there's no point to pushing ahead. We can't let that happen. We are all called to be saints. At work, we may find some comparison ...
