"Never leap ahead of grace, but wait for grace and quietly follow with the gentleness of the spirit of God"
This means that I don't every have to get cerebral and lay out an elaborate blue print about how events should proceed. Nor do I have to try to coerce things into happening or push for answers. There's no tension or stress. No anxious anticipation or grasping for control because I have an organic sense that I will know what to do when the time comes to do it. I simply wait and watch for grace to unfold like the petals of a flower. There is an energy, a dynamic and a passion in doing this that I could never willfully mandate or create intellectually.
......... Sister Helen Prejean in the book IN SWEET COMPANY by MARGARET WOLFF.
