At the same church I attended this morning (see my last post), the Rosary group started to pray after Mass ended. You could hear the members saying their petitions aloud at the beginning. This went on for at least ten minutes and I heard every thing that's said. Some of the things asked were somewhat insignificant, but others were more urgent. Normally, if someone goes on telling you all these things for over ten minutes, you'll probably get annoyed or bored. But here the listener was the Lord and these people were pouring their heart out to him ~ I was moved.
From telling the Lord everything on their mind and heart, I started thinking that we really shouldn't stop there. We must give God all we are and all we have. Now, if everything (including us) did come from and belong to God, what is there for us to give? It must be that we thought we owned them. Therefore, all we need to do is to disown everything and the matter is settled. This is the detachment that God wants to set us free. Let what's God's be his. And let us be his.
