What has God made possible in You?

     "I chose the specialty of surgery because of Matron, that steady presence during my boyhood and adolescence. 'What is the hardest thing you can possibly do?' she said when I went to her for advice on the darkest day of the first half of my life.
     I squirmed. How easily Matron probed the gap between ambition and expediency. 'Why must I do what is hardest?'
     'Because, Marion, you are an instrument of God. Don't leave the instrument sitting in its case, my son. Play! Leave no part of your instrument unexplored. Why settle for Three Blind Mice when you can play the Gloria?'
     How unfair of Matron to evoke the soaring chorale which always made me feel that I stood with every mortal creature looking up to the heavens in dumb wonder. She understood my unformed character.
     'But, Matron, I can't dream of playing Bach, the Gloria...,' I said under my breath. I'd never played a string or wind instrument. I couldn't read music.
     'No Marian,' she said, her gaze soft, reaching for me, her gnarled hands rough on my cheeks. 'No, not Bach's Gloria. Yours! Your Gloria lives within you. The greatest sin is not finding it, ignoring what God made possible in you.'
