Little errors are always bound to happen. On Good Friday, somehow my name failed to appear on the adoration list. I decided just to spend whatever time I could with Jesus – I probably spend an hour or two rather than the regularly scheduled half-hour. Jesus gave me more time with him.
I am responsible to organize the work for our team at times. I tried to organize everything: this brother goes here, that one over there, this one serves the meat, and that other one the water. However, it never worked out perfectly. Then one time I lost my organizational sheet. I had to let everyone figure it out on their own. Somehow, it turned out better: the community was served as fast and my team seemed more at peace.
Now, what do these two stories have to do with each other? I think they show us how God’s plans are always greater than our own. We might make great plans; God always does better. One of the toughest things is to trust him, to trust those around us, and let him complete his plan.
(For liturgists, the adoration was not solemn [in a monstrance] but Jesus was in the tabernacle since solemn adoration is forbidden on Good Friday.)
