Jesus to St. Catherine of Siena on Divine Providence

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)

The Only Thing That Matters In The End

It's Time to Strike the Right Balance

(Source: Wikimedia Commons ) “When I thought of God’s judgment too long, I grew fearful, and if I thought too long of God’s mercy, I grew lax. And this experience has taught me to sing not alone the mercies of the Lord, and not alone in His judgment, but judgment and mercy together in one embrace.” (St. Bernard of Clairvaux)
