TODAY’S WORD…

.

We know that in all things,

God works for the good of those who love Him,

who have been called according to His purpose.

.

– Romans 8:28

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

When we are aware of God as a loving Father,

it helps us see that all the events of our life

are orchestrated by His lovable Will.

.

Our Father gives us what is best for us,

and expects us to discover His paternal love

in what is adverse as well as in what is favourable.

.

Such an attitude, which comes from faith, hope, and full trust in the Lord,

will helps us overcome every difficulty we meet.

.

QUOTE…

.

"The whole world seems to be coming down on top of you.

Whichever way you turn you find no way out.

This time, it [appears] impossible to overcome the difficulties.

.

But, have you again forgotten that God is your Father,

all-powerful, infinitely wise, full of mercy?

He would never send you anything evil.

That thing that is worrying you is good for you,

even though those earthbound eyes of yours may not be able to see it now.

.

Lord, once again and always,

may your most wise Will be done!"

.

– St. Josemaria Escriva

.

PRAYER…

.

Father in heaven, Your will be done!

.

Father, please let me always say these words

with the fullest of faith.

.

I pray, never to forget

that whatever You permit is for my ultimate good,

and that my acceptance of Your Will

is also for the good of those around me – in particular, my loved ones.

.

Lord, Your will be done!

.
