Mercy Quotes

Today I have a quote from M.C. Xavier Maguire:

I feel very, very happy...I am going with courage prepared to meet everything,
with my entire confidence in God.

We could wonder where she was going. Was it to a foreign land never to see Ireland again? Was it to start a foundation? Was it as she prepared for major surgery? Was it in preparation for death? Did she have an adversarial meeting to attend in order to ask for financing?

What the purpose of her going is, is not clear in this quote, but I would like to think we could say that everyday as we go out the door and get into our car whether to work, to school, on the way to the airport or to the doctor's office.

Placing our entire confidence in God...oh how happy we could and would be! Let us practice that today as we go about whatever the day brings us.
