Funny how something you’ve read or heard countless times can
suddenly strike a chord—right when you need it most. Recently, we were singing Amazing
Grace during Mass—not for the first time, of course! But this time, I
allowed the words to break through my protective barrier. My prideful self had never let the lyrics be
about me. But this time, I invited the Lord to help me see: this was
my story. Getting to know yourself
intimately—being brutally honest about who you were, and who you hope to become
(but aren’t there yet)—is agonizing. Peering deeply inside, behind the smoke
and mirrors, beneath the many layers, is not for the faint of heart. If you
choose to embark on that journey, it’s vital to have someone walking alongside
you.
