Put Yourself In The Way Of Grace

An image is so very helpful. The image of my grandmother comes to mind when I hear Jeremiah's words: "Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose hope is the LORD. He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: it fears not the heat when it comes; its leaves stay green; in the year of drought it shows no distress, but still bears fruit." Homily for the Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time.
