Today (January 24) is the feast day of St Francis de Sales.
Be at peaceDo not look forward in fear to the changes in life;
rather look to them with full hope as they arise.
God, whose very own you are,
will deliver you out of them.
He has kept you hitherto,
and he will lead you safely through all things.
and when you cannot stand it,
God will bury you in his arms.
Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;
the same everlasting Father who cares for you today
will take care of you then and everyday.
He will either shield you from suffering
or will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace
and put aside all anxious thoughts and imagination.
What a great way to start the week. Thank you for sharing this quote, it is beautiful! (Kind of goes with your whole advent theme too, huh?!)
