Mariam lived the single life, often alone - at times lonely. She asked Rabbi Jesus, "Why did this have to be?" The Master answered her, "You are destined for greater things."
Mariam sighed, "It is a path that is lonely."
Rabbi Jesus gently replied, "So was mine."
Sometimes loneliness is the price to be paid for availability for ministry, whether in family or community. Be courageous - loneliness is fleeting, the joy of serving the Lord is not.
