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)

Jesus to St. Catherine of Siena on Divine Providence

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) Nothing has ever happened and nothing happens save by the plan of My Divine Providence. In all things that I permit, in all things that I give you, in tribulations and in consolations, temporal or spiritual, I do nothing save for your good, so that you may be sanctified in Me and that My Truth be fulfilled in you. (From The Dialogue ) PAUSE AND PONDER:   Am I unwilling to believe God when He says nothing happens in my life that is not part of His Divine will for me? Do I refuse to see God’s hands in the struggles and trials of my daily life? Am I afraid to trust Him? (Excerpted from Pondering Tidbits of Truth, Volume VI)

What The World Most Needs Now

  The world is in need of many things…it is in great need of apostles who are holy, cheerful, loyal to the Church and eager to make Christ known.  Let us ask ourselves whether we reflect extreme joy in our daily life.  We have so many reasons to be happy: the wonder of divine filiation, the comfort of Divine Mercy, the knowledge that we are on the road to heaven…the joy of being able to receive communion so often!   Francis Fernandez
