I like the above. The homily describes beautifully a pervasive human truth.
At this time in my life, I do not feel empty (my self-analysis), but, rather, I am aware that I am not trusting enough to allow God to help me experience the childlike trust I had in God, in my parents, and in the Sisters of Notre Dame who taught me, trust that I had as a child. That may be due to a lack of sufficient humility or non-acknowledgement of sin affecting trust in God, or due to my need to be in control of real events, at a time in my life when I am not in control of events affecting me. My personal life is affected by a Mordecai (me) vs. Haman situation, as I call it. I have to pray and deliberately intend to trust God, as I trusted and loved God seemingly effortlessly and naturally as a child, and as did Judith, Esther, and Job, of the Old Testament. Dora
