Every summer I can remember has gone quickly for me, but I think this has to be one of the quickest. The sheer number of things that went on is, to tell the truth, rather dizzying!
I have missed my blog. Thank you to you kind folks that have said you missed me, too. I am striving for virtuous balance in my life; the "holy blend" of prayer, apostolic work, study, recreation, and rest. It amazes me how precious the time is now that one takes for granted as a carefree child.
Lord willing, I will try to work regular posting back into my routine. I have plenty to share from the past few months!
For now, I will leave you with a wonderful quote I just found from St. Augustine, whose feast day is coming up. It sums up a frequent theme of my reflection as of late:
"My love for you, Lord, is not an uncertain feeling, but a matter of concious certainty. With your word you pierced my heart, and I loved you. But heaven and earth and everything in them on all sides tell me to love you."

welcome back Claire I have missed your posts,!
Thank you for sharing that quote. It's beautiful.
It's so good to 'see' you again! I sympathize with you in your 'quest.' I recently got back from vacation, and I too spent it trying to find some sort of holy order for my life. I particularly needed to pray about and evaluate A Maiden's Wreath, so I could rededicate myself to that.
But just in general I was in need of focusing myself, putting God at the front, and figuring out what I needed to do from there.
Always praying for you! God bless and keep you!
