Everything that happens…
Everything that happens is a message to me of God’s great love for my soul.

Bear and endure all…
If only we could be what we hope to be, by the great kindness of our generous God! He asks so little and gives so much, in this life and in the next, to those who love him sincerely. In a spirit of hope and out of love for him, let us then bear and endure all things and give thanks for everything that befalls us.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
To be upset is useless…

–Saint Peter of Damascus (12th Century)
What God arranges
What God arranges for us to experience at each moment is the best and holiest thing that could happen to us.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751
Let God worry…
I worry until midnight, and from then on, I let God worry.

Do not have any anxiety…
Do not have any anxiety about the future. Leave everything in God’s hands for he will take care of you.
