Ok. Here's a thought. It got me really excited. It was like excited when dad told me that more souls are released from purgatory on Christmas than on any other day, so I was all like freakin' out every other second cuz it was so exciting that every moment souls were stepping from the cleansing agony of purgatory into Jesus's presence. And like the thought of a life free of mental politics and worldly standards so I could be free to live in joy the way God created me to, free to be Mary's little one, free to be full of grace, all for Jesus through her. It was kinda like those kinda thoughts, and plausible, too.
So I was praying the Rosary on the way home from Fr. Kevin and Fr. Murray's vocational meeting (which was wonderful!) and I'm praying for YM and I get this thought. (I think it was Hwio whispering in my ear) What if all the youth of Maine listened to JPII and Blessed Mother Theresa's words and took them to heart, and developed a devotion to the Rosary and to the Eucharist? What if we imitated the Missionaries of Charity, saying the Rosary before the exposed Eucharist for a half hour and then spending another half hour in silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament? Can you imagine! Can you imagine the energy, the zeal, the grace imparted!? What if the youth had this chance to spend time, through Mary, with Fulfillment Himself?
I think... I think that's it. I think that's how. I think that's the secret to a renewal. At the vocations meeting, a guy from college was talking about how most of the people he graduated with in YM didn't even go to Mass anymore. He was talking to Eric about how we need to really focus hard for true conversions. And I was thinking, "what's going to convert them?" and then these thoughts hit me so hard. But seriously, I don't know what to think right now. I feel a little scared because it is so beautiful to me and I feel so inept. But... I dunno. A guy can dream, right. His will be done!
And His will is so beautiful...
