SRSusan (Guest): yes
Dec 1, 4:32 PM
SRSusan (Guest): God’s own remedy- that’s a mysterious one, sometimes we dont recognize His remedy
ec 1, 4:32 PMDawn (Guest): q1) perhaps not easy, always, but we can pray for his grace to do his will
Dec 1, 4:33 PMSRSusan (Guest): Very true Dawn and we might struggle but God sees our heart and its intention
Dec 1, 4:33 PMDawn (Guest): it is mysterious. and like I do not always reconiize what his will is
Dec 1, 4:34 PM
SRSusan (Guest): I also do not always know, like for ex now looking for a new Monastery
Dec 1, 4:34 PM
Dawn (Guest): that is consolsing throught Sr
Dec 1, 4:34 PM
Dawn (Guest): oh my. a new Monastery.
Dec 1, 4:35 PM
SRSusan (Guest): Which one to go to?
Dec 1, 4:35 PM
SRSusan (Guest): q How can we learn to trust our Heavenly Father the way children trust their earthly fathers to provide for them and care for them?

Dec 1, 4:36 PMSRSusan (Guest): So I need to do what the question asks, TRUST!
Dec 1, 4:37 PMDawn (Guest): sometimes we may not understand what his plan is, but we can trust he will let us know in time
Dec 1, 4:38 PM
Betty chao (Guest): We need to go near closed to him that is Jesus
Dec 1, 4:38 PM
SRSusan (Guest): If we had good earthly fathers it is probably easier to trust than if we did not
ec 1, 4:39 PM
Dawn (Guest): it would be easier to trust
Dec 1, 4:39 PM
Betty chao (Guest): We need to listen obey our heavenly father
Dec 1, 4:39 PM
SRSusan (Guest): but still God can give the grace even if we did not
Dec 1, 4:40 PMSRSusan (Guest): If we think about all God has done for us then that also can help us to trust I believe
Dec 1, 4:40 PM
Dawn (Guest): Hi Cathie
Dec 1, 4:40 PM
Betty chao (Guest): I will pray for you surgery recovered well good sister
Dec 1, 4:41 PMSRSusan (Guest): q Do children just trust because they are naive and haven’t been burnt by the world?
Dec 1, 4:42 PM
Dawn (Guest): and I am as well Sr. praying for your healing and your monastary
Dec 1, 4:42 PM
Dawn (Guest): I observed in my little gran dtrs just a natural trust…
Dec 1, 4:43 PM
Betty chao (Guest): Sister here is healing prayer you can find in bible psalms
Dec 1, 4:43 PMSRSusan (Guest): a natural trust ah, so maybe we have that with God before we get hardened?
Dec 1, 4:44 PM
Dawn (Guest): I sensed this with them, their love is so pure
Dec 1, 4:44 PM
SRSusan (Guest): so if we become like little children as Jesus says, and as St Therese suggests, maybe that trust comes naturally again?
Dec 1, 4:45 PMDawn (Guest): Ah! yes Sr I believe this is so
ec 1, 4:46 PMSRSusan (Guest): So being with little children is probably a good thing for us to do and a way too spend our time
Dec 1, 4:46 PMDawn (Guest): I hadnt thought of what Jesus said until you mentioned it, yes we must become like little children again
Dec 1, 4:47 PM
Dawn (Guest): I believe “littles” are very good spiritual guides
Dec 1, 4:47 PM
SRSusan (Guest): by being with them we can “catch” their charism of childlikeness perhaps, since in fact we did have those attributes in our own past
Dec 1, 4:48 PMSRSusan (Guest): q At what point do we stop thinking of “remedies” to our problems, and place them in God’s hands?
Dec 1, 4:51 PMSRSusan (Guest): I think its a combo- we trust God yet we also coopperate with Hi\m
ec 1, 4:52 PMSRSusan (Guest): so if God is guidig us we need to be attentive
ec 1, 4:53 PMDawn (Guest): Im experiencing so many trials I understand I can not remedy it myself, but I believe God allows . and alienation …forcing me to cling to him more
ec 1, 4:53 PMSRSusan (Guest): and maybe God allows those trials so that we do cling to Him
ec 1, 4:54 PMDawn (Guest): now I find myself praying to him to stay with me, please
ec 1, 4:54 PM
SRSusan (Guest): q How can we always keep our mind and thoughts on God?
Dec 1, 4:55 PM
Dawn (Guest): yes, I believe these are the situations that he uses for our sanctification
Dec 1, 4:56 PMSRSusan (Guest): St Francis de Sales recommends we turn to God at least every 15 minutes
ec 1, 4:57 PMDawn (Guest): this is a good guide!
Dec 1, 4:57 PM
Dawn (Guest): it is near always. and to have a regular times set up
Dec 1, 4:57 PM
Betty chao (Guest): Thanks Jesus for he gave great spiritual faithful saints teacher to guide us come near him
ec 1, 4:58 PMSRSusan (Guest): yes true Betty Watch what they did and imitate
Dec 1, 4:59 PMSRSusan (Guest): q St. Francis mentions a quote of
: St. Catherine of Siena: “Think of Me, and I will think of thee.” Does that mean God won’t think of us if we don’t think of him?
Dec 1, 5:00 PMDawn (Guest): Im not sure…
Dec 1, 5:00 PM
Betty chao (Guest): Sr Susan I had to leave because mom take me dinner pray for you all Jesus bless you all good bye
Dec 1, 5:00 PM
SRSusan (Guest): ok God bless you!
Dec 1, 5:01 PMSRSusan (Guest): Maybe it could mean that if we think of God we probably are asking Him something and He will answer us
Dec 1, 5:03 PM
Dawn (Guest): or thanking him…or praying for loved ones conversions…or protection over littles
Dec 1, 5:03 PM
Dawn (Guest): these things I pray about the most
Dec 1, 5:03 PM
SRSusan (Guest): and He will respond to this in His way and time
Dec 1, 5:03 PM
SRSusan (Guest): q How can we think more about God throughout our day?
Dec 1, 5:05 PMSRSusan (Guest): I know with the Guard of Honor one chooses a particular time to be focused. Some people set an alarm to remember
Dec 1, 5:06 PM
SRSusan (Guest): others have a prayer schedule
Dec 1, 5:06 PM
SRSusan (Guest): in a monastery we have our horarium plus we are surrounded by many spiritual statues etc which helps
Dec 1, 5:06 PMDawn (Guest): Ive not thought about regular times, x the Liturgy of Hours is prayed at regular times. I could use more self disipline in these areas
Dec 1, 5:07 PM
SRSusan (Guest): Liturgy of the Hours- yes that gives a good basis
Dec 1, 5:07 PM
Dawn (Guest): I keep religious images all thougout my apt. so always
