A REFLECTION FOR THE BEGINNING
OF A NEW SCHOOL YEAR.
The kingdom of God always lies beyond us. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work.
We plant seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted knowing they hold future promise.
We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realising that.
This enables us to do something and to do it very well.
It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord’s grace to enter and do the rest.
Oscar Romero.
