To every Catholic husband and father face down in the dirt today who is struggling, exhausted, spent
Remember, this was the posture of the Desert Fathers. They chose to lie prostrate in the dust, in surrender, waiting for God, begging to be formed, and not one of them got up the same.
You’re not finished. This is formation, and he’s working on you.
You’re in the furnace.
Stay there.
God sees, God speaks, and when He does, He lifts men up, and He sends them out. Be ready.

Built in the Desert. Covered by Mary. Forged in Fire.
