Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying:
“I pray not only for these,
but also for those who will believe in me through their word"
“I pray not only for these,
but also for those who will believe in me through their word"
-- Jn 17:20-26
"We know that in everything God works for good for those who love him." The constant witness of the saints
confirms this truth:
"St. Catherine of Siena said to 'those
who are scandalized and rebel against what happens to them': "Everything
comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does
nothing without this goal in mind."
"St. Thomas More, shortly before his martyrdom, consoled his daughter: 'Nothing can come but that that God wills. And I make me very sure that
whatsoever that be, seem it never so bad in sight, it shall indeed be
the best.'
"Dame Julian of Norwich: 'Here I was taught by the grace of God that I
should steadfastly keep me in the faith... and that at the same time I
should take my stand on and earnestly believe in what our Lord shewed in
this time - that 'all manner [of] thing shall be well.' "
-CCC 313
