Quote: September 1


“We belong to God by his grace. What else do we wish, then, but to please him? If we are contradicted, that is not surprising; what merit is there in not being crossed?” And who is there that can escape it? For every little contradiction, should one stop doing good? Good which gives glory to God?


~ St. Vincent de Paul


There is no such thing as a trouble-free life, devoid of conflict. When these situations do arise, Lord, provide me with the wisdom to view them as challenges rather than insurmountable obstacles.
