"This is impossible for man, but for God everything is poss ible." ~ Matthew 19:26

After being elected president, Abraham L incoln stayed in Springfield, Illinois, until it was time for his inaugur ation. Times were bad: states were seceding, and the South was readying fo r war. Lincoln walked to the rear platform and spoke is farewell to the cro wd: 'Here I lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one buried. I now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return, with a task before me grea ter than that which rested upon Washington.' ~ Mark Link, S.J.

When have you said farewell to a happy past and set out to face as uncertain fu ture? When was the last time our assembly ventured into a seemingly insurmo untable task?

"Without the assistance of the Divine Being. ... that attended George Washington, I cannot succeed. With that assistanc e, I cannot fail." ~ Abraham Lincoln

"give me.... an understanding heart." ~ 1 Kings 3:9
< br>Walter Petrvage grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania. Among his fond memories is his father's deep compassion.

On the night of the senior prom he took his father's car without permission. In his rush to get away without deception, he left the driver's door slightly open to check cleara nce as he backed out of the narrow garage. It hit the garage, springing th e hinges. He laid awake most of the night worrying. When he came downstairs about noon, his dad said, "I took the Chevy to the body shop. They'll ha ve it fixed tomorrow. We can decide who'll pay for it then." He paused and then said, "Did you have a good time at the prom?" ~ Catholic Digest

How compassionate are you - as Jesus was to His people and the father to his son?

"You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion." ~ Meister Eckha rt

"Do not be surprised at the painful test you are suffering.. .. Rather be glad that you are sharing Christ's sufferings, so that you ma y rejoice when his glory is revealed." ~ 1 Peter 4:12-13

A Belgi um doctor invited nurse Edith Cavell to set up a medical clinic in Brussels . When war came in 1914, she secretly treated and helped 200 Allied soldie rs to escape. The Germans were outraged and sentenced her to death.

A chaplain describes her last moments:
"We partook of Holy Communion tog ether. At the close of the little service, I began to repeat the words, ' Abide with me,' and she joined.... Then I said good-bye... She smiled and said, 'We shall meet again.'"

When the British ship Stella w as sinking with 105 victims still on it, a woman stood on the bridge and s ang "Abide with Me." Immediately the others joined in, remaining faithful to the LORD to the end. ~ Mark Link, S.J.

"There is no greater love than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends" ~ John 15:13

As a child, Maximilian Kolbe (1 894-1941), had a deep devotion to Our Lady. On one occasion he had a visio n in which Mary offered him either a white garment, symbolizing purity, o r a red one, symbolizing martyrdom. "I choose both," the boy replied.

Following the German conquest of Poland in 1939, he was arrested, but soon released. Fr. Kolbe devoted himself to helping Jewish refugees; when the Nazis discovered this, he was again arrested and sent to the death ca mp Auschwitz in 1941. There he tried to set an example of faith and hope fo r the other prisoners. When a prisoner escaped from camp, the Germans chos e ten men at random and sentenced them to death by starvation; one of them was a Polish sergeant, Franciszek Gajowniczek. Fr. Kolbe left his place i n the ranks and asked permission from the commandant to take Gajowniczek's place. The shocked German officer agreed, and Kolbe a...

"Your constant love reaches the heavens;
your fai thfulness extends to the skies....
Your justice is like the depth s of the sea....
Your are the source of all life,
and because of your light we see the lights." ~ Psalm 36:5-7, 9

In his play Long Day's Journey into Night, Eugene O'Neill has Edmund d escribe a mystical experience. Actually, it was one that O'Neill himself h ad one night on a square-rigger bound for Buenos Aires. He wrote:

"F or a moment, I lost myself... I became the white sails and flying spray, became the beauty and the rhythm, became the moonlight and the ship and th e dim-starred sky! I belonged... within something greater than my own life. ... To God if you want." ~ Mark Link, S.J.

What is the closest thin g I have ever had to an experience similar to O'Neill's?

"I was s natched up to the highest heaven...
I heard things which cannot b e put into words." ~ 2 Corinthians 12:2-4

"The apostles gathered frequently to pray as a group, toget her with Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers." ~ Acts 1:14
A Chicago businessman wrote about his years of sharing his faith in a group with seven other businessmen: "I am in a faith-sharing group that me ets every Saturday morning at seven. We have never yet missed a meeting. We share our insights and reflections from our daily meditations of the past week. As we grew together, we developed a lot of love, a lot of compassio n. We have shared with each other more than our faith. We have shared our j oys, our pains and worries, our dreams and our hopes. We have shared our lives... There is nothing I would not do for the members of our group. I fe el very blessed." ~ Mark Link, S.J.
