John Tauler writes Let a person humbly await God's guidance, abandoning himself in all peacefulness and in total detachment to the divine influence, whenever and however it may come to him. This will be all that God requires of him...
Such words describe Mary and John at the foot of the cross. They stood there without saying a word, without fighting for Jesus, or answering his adversaries. It isn't hard to imagine they simple did not understand what was happening. They only knew, it was happening, and somehow, Jesus would make it good.
No one can escape those moments when we question life. It is part of the stirring of our soul for the "better part" and indicates a yearning for something more. During such times, silence, reflection, and prayer do much for our spirit.
