Patient Trust in Ourselves
and the Slow Work of God...

By Pierre Teilhard de Chardin


Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are all, quite naturally,
impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip
the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being
on the way to something unknown,
something new,
and yet it is the law of all progress
that is made by passing through
some stages of instability--
and that it may take a very long time.   

And so I think it is with you.

Your ideas mature gradually--
let them grow,
let them shape themselves,
without undue haste.
Don't try to force them on,
as though you could be today
what time (that is to say, grace and
circumstances acting on your own good will)
will make you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.   

Give our Lord the benefit of believing

that his hand is leading you
and accept the anxiety of
feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.
Above all, trust in the slow work of God,
our loving vine-dresser.


Did you know...Jesus worked many wondrous, healing miracles in the days of his flesh. He gave sight to the blind. He healed the afflictions of many. He cast out demons from the possessed. He restored life to the dead. But there was one miracle Jesus never performed. He never, in an instant, restored a wounded soul; he never, in a moment, brought a man or woman to spiritual maturity. Why? Because spiritual formation is not an event; it's a process.

So place your patient trust in yourself and the slow work of God.
