Words to Live by – from Catholic Tradition

 

The Mystical Doctor of the Catholic Church reminds us that God Protects Us during the Darkness of our Times.

 

Words of St. John of the Cross:

 

Live in Faith and Hope even though you are in darkness, because it is in these darknesses that God protects your soul.  Cast your care upon God, for He watches over you and will not forget you.  Do not think that He leaves you alone; that would be an affront to Him.

 

St. John of the Cross in a letter to a Discalced Carmelite nun shortly before Pentecost, 1590.

What we hold

If you want to know what is your “god”, and what is most important to you, reflect on what you like most to talk about and to think about.
