LIVING IN THE GIFT AND GRACE OF THE LORD

Sharing beautiful words by St Basil the Great (From the 2nd Reading of the Office of Reading 16/3/2020).

"It is God who is active within me,
Giving me both the will and the achievement,
in accordance with his good purpose.

God gives power and strength in my labours.
It is not I but the grace of God which is in me.
He rescues me from all dangers beyond human expectations.

The man who boasts must boast of this
that he knows and understands
that I am the Lord."

I am so often asked how I can achieve so much in my days, juggling my many roles at home, at work, at church. The wise words from St Basil speak my heart....I desire to live in the gift and grace of the Lord.
