A quote from Catherine McAuley:
Grant, O most Merciful Redeemer, that whatever you ordain or permit may always be acceptable to me. Amen.
Today I received a small setback that at first left me feeling sorry for myself. A pity-party was about to erupt on the scene. My inner tapes we playing big time and I had to get control of the negative thinking and turn it positive. How could I make something glaringly unjust to me ( or someones simple oversight) into a positive tape? This quote came to me quickly. Let all you permit be acceptable to me. In other words: DON'T GET BENT OUT OF SHAPE!!
There are two things that helped me. One is the phrase, 'Would this matter ten years from now?", and my sister's often-used phrase, "There's a hidden silver lining in bad things that happen." Catherine said it most simply in her quote.
Today, if things are going wrong or you feel someone has treated you unjustly, remember that the Lord is always there and with His help we can get through anything.
