A Path Through . . .

(Found here ) “O my God, I am so convinced that Thou keepest watch over those who hope in Thee, and that we can want for nothing when we rely upon Thee in all things, that I am resolved in the future to live free from every care, and to turn all my anxieties over to Thee. Men may deprive me of property and honor; sickness may strip me of strength and the means of serving Thee; I may even lose Thy grace through sin. But my trust shall never leave me. I will preserve it to the last moment of my life, and all the powers of hell shall strive in vain to take it from me. Others may look elsewhere for happiness or support; as for me, Lord, my confidence shall remain fixed in Thee. Therefore I am sure that I shall be forever happy, because I firmly hope to be so, and because it is from Thee that I hope for it. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee. Amen.” ~St. Claude de la Colombiere
