Thanksgiving

"The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit" (John 3:8)

The words of the Gospel from both today and yesterday included above seem to assure us that there is little use in spending time trying to predict the direction the Holy Spirit will carry something.  One only has to be ready for the Spirit to open the door and then be ready to move with it. As we celebrated our fourth anniversary of the Children's Rosary last Friday there is a hope that indeed Our Lord will direct us and carry us in the direction where we are needed.  Yesterday we completed a Novena of Masses for the Fulfillment of Our Lady's plans for the Children's Rosary.  Today we began a 9 day Novena of Masses in Thanksgiving.   

As we enter this new year there is no way of knowing where the Spirit will carry the Children's Rosary or each one of us.  Yet we take our Rosaries in hand and pray that the Lord will guide each step and send his Mother to always keep a firm hand on the other end of our rosaries that we may always be moving closer to Him.
