"...do not think you are privileged...be more humble..."
YouTube suggested this video--it may either be the first or second in the recommended videos. It is about Our Lady of Akita and how the miracles and apparitions through Sister Agnes Sasagawa was the same as the messages at Fatima.
The line that struck me the most was when Sister Agnes revealed what she had first experienced to the diocesan Bishop, the Bishop told her to keep silent and not think that she is privileged. And that she should strive to be more humble.
I guess that's the message for me today. I am being told that I am not privileged. That I should try to be more humble. Just because I am examining my inner life in (what I still consider superficial), that doesn't mean I am special. That doesn't mean I am better than anyone. I should strive to be more humble. Interestingly, I had been very ill since two days ago: chills, calor, dolor, rubor, maybe even tumor. Like my head was inflating and deflating rhythmically and so I wince in the futile hope of lessening the sakit. I had to ask my husband to help me get an appointment soonest--but I thought it wasn't that fatal to the point that he should call 911 because I could still breathe and smell and taste. I had been in this situation many times before. I always get tonsillitis or a major throat infection at least once a year. It's interesting that I had been isolated and had not left the house so I just shake my head left and right. Message to me: "...do not think you are privileged...be more humble..." See, even this anonymous blogpost whilst sick is like me saying silently...."no really, I'm special, God makes me suffer constantly, I'm His favorite...." No, no, no. I want to re-read this and scoff at myself and make this a lesson.
Interesting, colourful turn of human events. *Shrug* ouch
