The grace of God in Christ just got me through one of the toughest weeks of my life. I am so thankful to Him for His mercy, patience, divine interventions, servants, timely words, gentle encouragements, faithfulness, and nearness.
What I learned (or relearned) this week:
- Whomever God has given a loving spouse is highly favored;
- We can never love the Blessed Mother of God too much;
- God is always bigger than our adversaries and always has the last word;
- God-fearing friends are worth more than any material success;
- Sharing in the sufferings of Jesus is both agony and the pledge of glory;
- Fear can warp our perceptions and cause us to spiral into grave doubts;
- If we fail to rebuke the sinner we may end up sharing his guilt;
- The LORD will never forsake His faithful servants;
- The intercession of the Saints of the Church avails much in our hour of need:
- Humility is the path to peace.
I am so grateful to the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost; for the sweet and sublime love of Mary, pure and undefiled Virgin Mother of God; for the prayers of the Saints; for the love of my wife; for the servants of God He sends to us as just the right moment to confirm His will; and even for those who rebuke us in anger and human vengeance, for even there we can learn from the Wisdom of God.
