The Slow Work of God (by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J.,
1881-1955)
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like
to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown,
something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some
stages of instability - and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually-let them grow, let them shape
themselves, without undue haste. Don’t try to force them on, as though you could be today
what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make of
you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give Our Lord
the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.

Soon you are sent out to sow the Word of God wherever it is
possible. You may not see much growth and fruit of your labour.
Then remember these comforting words of our Lord, who sends
you: “You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed
you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will
give you whatever you ask him in my name.” He will bless you
with all you need!
