Why Me? Why This?



There are many times in our earthly journey when we might ask ourselves: “Why is God giving this particular cross to me?” or even “Has God forgotten me?” It is on those occasions when we should ponder and draw solace and strength from this eternal but forgotten and rarely shared Truth:



“It is one of the most firmly established and most consoling of the truths that have been revealed to us that [apart from sin] nothing happens to us in life, unless God wills it so.


                 (St. Claude de la Colombiere, S.J. from Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence)

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
