I've been asked by another, different family member (Penny) who survived breast cancer 21 years ago but has had it return this week to post a prayer request here. Penny is a woman of faith who believes in the power of prayer in a big way. Thus this request. Please pray for wisdom, comfort and competent physicians. Thank you.
Many if not all of us have a mixed-up narrative we tell ourselves about who we are, how we don’t measure up, don’t belong, how we aren’t enough...
About 500 years ago, there was a woman by the name of Teresa of Avila, who was a nun and a mystic who left behind several books, poems, prayers, practices that many to this day still find inspiring. One of her well-loved poems is called, “Christ Has No Body”.
I don’t know who comes to your mind, when we talk about how we break this, "Do not murder" commandment and harbour murder in our hearts. But likely somebody does. Perhaps a few somebodies.
