“I am satisfied to sow in tears if I may reap in Joy.” – St. Elizabeth Ann Seton – Thank you, Lord, for the sorrows and pain in my life that help me to share more fully in your Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
“Trust our Lord to be your efficiency.” – St. Vincent de Paul – Sometimes, I pride myself on my ability to “make things happen”. Remind me, Lord, that any success I have comes from you who are its source.
Happy will we be if God finds us worthy of suffering for justice’s sake and if God grants us the grace of loving humiliation and returning good for evil (IV:301).
