REFLECTION…

.

With God on our side

who can be against us?

This is an expression of confidence and optimism

coming from the heart

of those of us who believe that God is with us

and that He is always by our side!

.

We believe in the Lord, our God and Saviour,

and we know that if we follow His teachings

and obey His Commandments,

we will emerge victorious and unscathed

from all the attacks, dangers and sufferings we experience,

from all that threatens our peace,

and from the worst that might befall us.

.

Nothing and nobody – no created thing –

is stronger than God’s love for us

and so,

with God on our side

who can be against us?

.

QUOTE…

.

"Our Lord wants us to be in the world

and to love the world but without being worldly.

Our Lord wants us to remain in this world

– which is now so mixed up

and where the clamour of lust

and disobedience and purposeless rebellion

can be heard –

to teach people to live with joy. […]

.

Don’t be worried.

The world won’t harm you

unless you want it to.

No enemy of our soul

can do anything if we don’t consent.

.

And we won’t consent,

with the grace of God

and the protection of our Mother in heaven."
