I am going to lead her out of the wilderness.
And speak to her heart.
Can we be content with less.
Resolved to make a new start.
I am thinking of Edith Stein , St Benedicta of the cross.
Cruelly persecuted and killed by evil.
Her martyrdom , her example , triumphant in loss.
Her beautiful soul now is resting, still.
And here am I looking now at the harvest.
All sunlit , calm , radiant.
But we must not just enjoy our rest.
We must remember others’ sacrifice, not just be content.
When I think of Edith Stein.
I just hope now she’s in heaven and fine.
…….
Led from wilderness
We speak to our lonely heart
If we speak to God
…….
See Hosea 2
