"No one can predict the path his life
will take. God has a plan for each one of us, but few of us get any idea
of what it entails until late in life (and even then, only in a dim
way). It can be hard to trust God without knowing all the contours of
the way he's taking us. This difficulty is one reason why we're given so
many models of holiness. The multiplicity of saints over the history of
the Church, with their variety of stories of conversion, trial,
redemption, and flourishing, reminds us: God can also work through
someone like you or me. Getting to know the lives of the saints opens
our eyes to the variety of paths to holiness that we can take."
In a recent commentary based on the examples of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Elizabeth, Brother John Henry Peters, O.P.,
reflected on the importance of faithfulness and openness (being ready for whatever God calls us to, whether early in life or later in life) in our spiritual journey.
