Everything is a grace…everything is the direct effect of our Father’s love –
difficulties,
contradictions,
humiliations,
all the soul’s miseries,
her burdens,
her needs,
everything,
because through them she learns humility, realizes her weakness.
Everything is a grace, because everything is God’s gift.
Whatever be the character of life, or its unexpected events – to the heart that loves, all is well.
–St Therese of Lisieux
For all the unexpected events and difficulties I meet in life it is good for me to remember that everything is–if I’ll acknowledge and accept the reality of the sacrament of the present moment–a grace, because it comes to me through God and is present in my life for my good and His glory.
