We find the answer to this query in the Autobiography of St. Thérèse - there is a difference in the calling for each one. All are not assigned to do the same amount of work in the Divine ministry. St. Thérèse also has the same query and finds the answer as she quotes in her Autobiography. "Our Lord has deigned to explain this mystery to me. He showed me the book of nature, and I understood that every flower created by Him is beautiful, that the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would lose its springtide beauty, and the fields would no longer be enamelled with lovely hues. And so it is in the world of souls, Our Lord’s living garden. He has been pleased to create great Saints who may be compared to the lily and the rose, but He has also created lesser ones, who must be content to be daisies or simple violets flowering at His Feet, and whose mission it is to gladden His Divine Eyes when He deigns to look down on them. And the more gladly they do His Will the greater is their perfection." When God calls us, He also provides His grace to labour for Him. The more the time and the more brilliance of His grace, the more we can labour for Him. All the great souls who have laboured hard for the salvation of the souls and all the souls who repented just a few minutes before their death, enter Heaven as promised by God. But the Remembrance Book of God has recorded the work. And it is the happiness and satisfaction of knowing and experiencing God makes the hard day's labour under the sun also more worthwhile. St. Paul couldn't be satisfied if he had repented like the good thief in the last moments of his life. If Little Thérèse of the Child Jesus had been the first son, she would have been happy like the father of the prodigal son to have her brother back. Little Thérèse was called from her birth and the good thief was called near his death. Both are different varieties of flowers in the garden of our God. All our Catholic priests and nuns have sacrificed their entire life for love of God. Certainly Heaven is not the only goal. They are the roses and lilies adorning the beautiful garden of our God.

Pope Francis: Without prayer there will be no Synod.

Having attended Mass at various locations over the last while from Dublin to Louth to Meath including at parish church plus religious communities and even parishes ministered by, can we say, liberal thinking religious. Apologies for boxing people. My travels have taken me through three separate dioceses plus a quick dip into the world of Internet, I have observed a lack of mention of the forthcoming synod. Would it be that no one is interested or is the Holy Father correct, no prayer means no synod? Or has it something to do with the influence the Holy Spirit or dare we mention that basic fact is having on the people of God in this part of the world?

One wonders, is there any benefit in converting early? Are we encouraged to explore? A full day in the vineyard or a whole life spent by the father's side (in the case of the elder brother) did not result in wisdom, just bitterness. Help.
