Participate and Comprehend

"The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church" A spiritual precept observed by St. Tertullian – My thoughts "Under persecution Grace thrives". It seems this precept can well be understood only by participation. If not, it is then comprehended at a distance. Persecution and affliction has a commonality, it is that Our Father’s Love is easily received.

Though I have never been explicitly persecuted for my faith, I do experience this Thriving Grace and I see this Thriving Grace in my wife. Today, she was weeping because she was asked, if we had considered the financial consequences of keeping the child alive.

Why we weep because every medical aspects of Jeremiah is very painful. I was afraid and may be afraid again of it – but the Grace to give Our Lord his time to answer our prayers. Brings deep peace to us. And with HIS answer comes His Grace. It is all we need for now in our lives.

I comprehend in our lives HIS Grace and participate in HIS Love.
