A little quiet reflection will remind me that yes to God always leads in the end to joy.

I'm convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.

No one whose first concern is feeling good can be a disciple. We are called to carry a cross and to glorify God.

Have we the humility to thank our Father for the gift of pain?

A great many things determine how people live, and money is not at the top of the list. Choices are always available. What you choose will depend on how you see things: yourself, your work, your right to express taste and desire and personality, your understanding of the love of God as expressed in His creation and order and harmony.

The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it's going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.

If you have lost your life, remember that He promises that you will find it.
