August 27
God sends afflictions, but nothing comes from the divine hand that is not useful to those souls who fear Him. Be happy if they come and receive them with a heart filled with filial love, because God sends them with a heart that is paternally concerned with your perfection. He wishes to purify and refine His holy love in you. Think often about the duration of eternity and do not get upset about the mishaps of this transitory and mortal life.
(Letters 1982; O. XXI, p. 21)
Very poignant and deep. Sometimes, we tend to focus on the aspirations and our sufferings here in Earth, forgetting that our lives in Earth is finite. It would benefit us to focus on living a Christ-Centered Life, and building our soul, preparing ourselves for the eternity that awaits us after we leave our earthly bodies.
Lord My God,
Take away all my anxieties, my worries, and my fears this day. All things that do not benefit my eternal soul.
Replace these torments, O Lord My God, with the Peace of Your Grace. Enliven my soul, My Lord God, and enflame my faith in you.
I invite the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, into my soul, enrich my faith in you , Lord.
That whatever may happen to me this day, I will remember your promises and your Saving Power.
Amen. Linkback:
