and will lift up your face to God.

and you will fulfill your vows.

and light will shine on your ways.

unique sealed orders

Neil — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 02:36:55 +0000

“Throughout our lives each of us discovers more and more deeply our unique sealed orders, a way that only we are gifted to give and receive love.

When I am in touch with the special purpose of my life and carrying out my sealed orders, I have a profound feeling of consolation or rightness and my whole body relaxes. I believe this sense of rightness expresses itself physiologically because the purpose of our life is built into the very cells of our body.

I have noticed this sense of rightness whenever I am in touch with our learning about the inner goodness of created things. Loooking back, I realize that this has guided all my major decisions in life.”

Moments of desolation are equally instructive.
