Why do we chase the rainbow when the pot of gold is in our hands? It is our right and responsibility to seek the truth, however at times our all-consuming desire for personal fulfillment blinds our eyes to God’s will. Perhaps it is a need to achieve financial success or professional prestige; or a love of comfort that leads us to believe that our undertakings should be effortless; still yet it could be that our insecurities or fears are the stumbling blocks in our path. In our quest to find our truth, we unknowingly build a wall around ourselves that confines us to a spiritual and emotional prison – and in actuality, we resist the will of God that we are so desperately trying to ascertain.
God, in His great power has the ability to break down that wall that surrounds our soul. All we need do is abandon ourselves with humility and trust into His loving arms and He will show us His will. Thus in letting go of what we suppose to be our freedom, we will find our real freedom.
Remember, that Dorothy went searching for her heart’s desire over the rainbow and discovered after her tumultuous journey to Oz, that her pot of gold was in her own back yard. We do not need ruby slippers to find our way back to God. We simply need to open our hearts.
Our Lady is an exemplary model for us as she always sought, found and carried out the will of God. In this month of the Holy Rosary it is good to recite this beautiful prayer frequently with fervor for she will deliver our requests to God. St. Josemaria, the Founder of Opus Dei said, “The Holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results.” (# 558, The Way.)
