Depth of a person... for what?

Reading the writings and reflections of great men and women, I wonder where do they get such splendid ideas and thoughts. Then there is also this selfish intercession, 'Lord help me also get such ideas!' But thinking a bit deeper about these personalities, say our own Rector Major, Fr Chavez himself, I cannot avoid noticing the depth and strength they manifest. Looking at them and hearing them, you know they have something more than the rest of us. They are made up of a different substance all together, within. With that also dawns the realisation, that they are where they are now, not merely because they wanted to be there! They are where they are because God wanted them there!

This thought has been strengthened by my little experience with Sr Franceschina, the Mother General of SAPs, who laid down office today. She exudes a sense of grace and confidence that binds you and makes you say, 'Wow'! Last of all, comes the unwilling prayer: 'Lord, not my will but Yours!'
