Answers Come in Interesting Ways

from my meditation on Hildegard's words this morning:


O Beloved,

your way of knowing is amazing!

The way you recognize every

creature

even before it appears.

The way you gaze into the face of a

human being

and see all of your works gazing back

at you.

O what a miracle

to be awake inside your breathing. (Hildegard of Bingen)


Well, that certainly speaks to the prayer dilemma, doesn’t it? “Your way of knowing is amazing.” Pray for the best for someone and God will answer from God’s way of knowing. We cannot know what is best for another ~ even one who is sick or dying. God knows. And God will provide that Best. I like it. And I trust it. It also speaks to the Divine mystery of why my friends I wrote about in my last blog continue to be in this world.
