Short, Careful Steps

Venerable Catherine McAuley, Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy was a woman of prayer and of deep faith. Her philosophy was “Let us take one day only in the hands at a time, merely making a resolve for tomorrow. Thus we may hope to go on, taking short, careful steps, not great strides … Each day is a step we take towards Eternity … The final step will bring us into the presence of God." I want to reflect on this as I walk each day in preparation for the Camino.
