Put aside the notion that faith, or religion, is a guarantee against trouble. No, it is rather a guide and a help during it.
Difficulties and hardships and sickness and death lie ahead on every man's road, and there is no detour around them.
Look to Faith not for freedom from troubles, but for courage to cope with them.
German Translation -
"All the sorrows of our souls find a sure remedy in the Heart of Jesus."
Friends,
ReplyDeleteI believe that this is a translation of the German words:
"All the sorrows of our souls find a sure remedy in the Heart of Jesus."
John
This is a very helpful reminder to people like myself who continue to expect life to go smoothly, even while knowing better.
ReplyDeleteThere is much virtue and gain for the soul who will bear their trials with calm assurance that God's Love and Mercy accompanies every cross He lovingly sends us.
John - Such truth! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMaryellen - Your words are meant for so many of us. We all have our sorrows and knowing others share our prayers and sufferings makes it a bit more bearable.
I'm glad some of these words bring comfort. Thanks for your additional help.
