Principles and Practices - January 19

How God Helps

Remember that no penitent soul can perish. And no soul that loves God can be lost. Let us read the traces of God's loving Hand in all our ways - the events, the changes, the chances of this troubled life. It is God that dispenses all. Any suffering in this world, rather than to perish in the world to come. Any shame now rather than the shame before Christ at His coming with the holy angels.

-Cardinal Mannng.
