I have held many things in my hands

Martin Luther
February 2019 (Vol. XXXII, No. 2)
I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.

Quote of the Day

In order to make it easier to keep your thoughts continually on God in accordance with your wish and your need, this is what you can do. First, love solitude and silence, which greatly help the spirit within, and sacred meditation. Second, choose to read books that are sound spiritually. Pause frequently, trying to appreciate rather than understand or remember them. And third, throughout the day turn to God in prayer about all that takes place... All will be well in time.

~ from THE SPIRITUAL LETTERS OF JEAN-PIERRE de CAUSSADE with thanks to Joyce Lang
