This is Daily Reflections on Divine Mercy from My Catholic Life.
2
Today's Reflection is entitled, Sweetness or Bitterness in Life?
3
Which do you prefer for your life?
4
Daily sensory experiences of sweetness or bitterness?
5
In other words, do you desire to take delight in the many aspects of your daily life,
6
or do you desire that the daily duty you fulfill leaves you with a certain bitterness within your senses?
7
For most people the answer is simple.
8
Sweetness is much better. But is it?
9
Interestingly, the experience of sweetness or bitterness in life is not a good guide toward a life of holiness.
10
At times, even sin can taste sweet to us, while acts of holiness can be bitter at first.
11
Understanding this will allow us to move deeper into our embrace of the will of God.
12
Our goal must be to seek His will purely for the sake of His will.
13
We must have no preference regarding the delight or suffering that comes as a result of embracing His will.
14
If God's will requires great sacrifice, leaving us with a sensory experience of suffering, then so be it.
15
If His will draws us to an exchange of love that leaves us with a sweet delight, then so be it.
16
Though it is hard to arrive at a level of total detachment, we must strive for it.
17
His will and His will alone must be our focus.
18
In His will alone do we discover His abundance of mercy.
19
Reflect upon the difference between God's will and the delight or distaste you feel from embracing it.
20
When His will calls you to sacrifice, you will find it to be a sort of bitter experience,
21
bitter in the sense that it may challenge your senses.
22
Do not worry about this.
23
Seek His will in all things,
24
and the joy in your heart will ultimately overshadow all other immediate experiences you have.
25
His will opens the door to His abundant mercy.
26
Let us pray.
27
Lord I seek Your most holy will about all things.
28
me to choose your will no matter how difficult or how delightful it may be.
29
Purify me, dear Lord, and give me a single focus in life
30
so that my embrace of all you call me to do will bring forth your perfect mercy.
31
Jesus, I trust in you.
32
Thank you.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
