As you ponder this new year…
Be gentle with yourself
for you are living through a major expression of your faith
and how to use it in the world.
You are rewriting decades of old beliefs
and shifting how you live your life.
This is no small feat.
It is ok to feel uncomfortable.
Great change often brings with it
discomfort and second guessing.
Do not shrink from this mission.
Not now.
You are changing
and your Divine Self is lighting the way.
~ Teilhard de Chardin, SJ
