St John 3:27 Title: Re: Stewardship Post by: Bailey2 on October 01, 2010, 05:33:12 PM Including health, children, work, and the ability to do anything really; breath itself. After my health scare I think this means much more to me.......
thanks Brigid. Title: Re: Stewardship Post by: Brigid on October 01, 2010, 06:22:36 PM Receiving crosses is so difficult, though. Even if we 'offer it up' and look toward eternity we're still human and continual striving can get so hard.
We fly to thy protection, O holy Mother of God. Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Sub tuum praesidium confugimus, sancta Dei Genetrix. nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus; sed a periculus cunctis libera nos semper, Virgo gloriosa et benedicta.

How thankful we must be for every blessing, for life, health, for children, for the grace to love God.... Title: Re: Stewardship Post by: martin on October 01, 2010, 07:33:28 PM "No one can receive anything unless it is given to him from heaven." St John 3:27 Brigid that very thought came to me while I was saying my rosary. It was like a powerful sense of security that every single detail of life is under the merciful providence of God.. We mustn't worry about anything at all but trust in God for everything. Nothing can live or remain without God sustaining it I so wish I could retain those little understandings enough to practice them beyond the initial effect when you seem to see them more clearly than usual. Baily you bore that trial with saintly courage and great trust in God.. I for one never suspected a thing was wrong. . I'm Hoping that weren't due to lack of sensitivity on my part. :ActofGod: Title: Re: Stewardship Post by: Brigid on October 01, 2010, 07:51:50 PM Quote Nothing can live or remain without God sustaining it Even the angels, even the Saints in heaven!
