Respect with silence…
Never question God’s dealings with you. Respect God’s work in your soul with silence.
–John Hardon (1914-2000)
Blessed be God who permits…
Blessed be God who permits our age, sicknesses, and moral suffering to make us feel so useless and unable do anything.
–Blessed Luisitia Josefa (1866-1937)
His will is accomplished…
Affliction or consolation, health or sickness, is all one to a heart that loves. Since we wish only to please God, it should be enough for us that His Will is accomplished.
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
Leave all things to the will of God…
We shouldn’t continue relentlessly in order to acquire what we want; rather we should leave all things to the will of God… These always increase and we are never satisfied with what we have. The more we chase after these wants the more elusive they become… In our prayer we should ask only for the salvation of our soul.
–Saint Porphyrios (1906-1991)
Serene in tribulations…
My beloved child, let us praise God in everything because all that happens is for our own good. Try to fulfill your duties the best you can and for God alone and always remain happy and serene in all the tribulations of life. As for me, I have placed all in the hands of God and I have been successful. We have to learn to detach ourselves a little, trust in God alone, and do God’s holy will with joy. How beautiful it is to be in the Hands of God, searching His Divine Gaze in readiness to do whatever He wishes.
–Blessed Luisitia Josefa (1866-1937)
Offer ourselves to God…
We must offer ourselves to God like a clean, smooth canvas and not worry ourselves about what God may choose to paint on it, but at each moment, feel only the stroke of His brush.
–Jean Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
