Turning Our Eyes to God

July 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

If, in the face of difficulties and sacrifices imposed on us by our duties, we stop to calculate our strength, we will draw back and be tempted to give up;  but if, on the contrary, we stop looking at ourselves and turn our eyes to God, to His infinite love, the certitude of His help will give us the strength to go on.  Firm hope in Him will make us strong, courageous and generous; it will be the lever of our life.

.-Divine Intimacy, Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, p. 739

    I’m going to have to put this book on my list. The little meditations you’ve been posting give me lots to reflect on.
