The Second Reading


Today's second reading in Mass spoke to me.  Signs of miscarriage began Thursday evening and continue very slowly.  I feel so much dread and at night fear.  

1 Pt 2:20b-25 (see the entire reading here)

Beloved:
If you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good, 
this is grace before God.
For to this you have been called,
because Christ also suffered for you,
leaving you an example that you should follow in His footsteps.

Yes, the waiting was miserable. The grace is a benefit.

"My grace is sufficent for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." 1 Corinthians 12:7
