I am praying for the Church on earth. I am imagining Sister Geraldine, testifying to the grace of God, so faithfully, Bless her heart.
That is my imagination of God's Church awaiting and adorning herself as a bride, pure and chaste to meet the coming Lord and Savior of the Body.
I pray that God would give us, in this generation the Church would exemplify what we saw and rejoiced in of Sister Geraldine. Singing Halleluia, Anyhow, at every turn of providence; with eyes set upon the return of Her Bridegroom.
The joy that God gave us young girls to watch such a beautiful love story unfold before our eyes, seems significant and a charge of stewardship. None of us can emulate that beauty, but we can see God working through that beauty to bring the Church to the unity of the Spirit, perhaps in our generation.
Looking for the paroucia, appearing of our Savior, seems to me to be looking for the Lord's cleansing and preparing His Church to get us ready. The passive waiting is the looking for Him and the active waiting is the preparing ourselves for that great day, personally and corporately.
