Ave Maria Meditations
Let us trust in God, trust Him without limits. Let us be confident that, if we are concerned only with doing His will, no real harm will ever come to us, even if we were to live in times a thousandfold harsher than the ones we live in now.
In all things let us not forget to repeat with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane; “Not My will but Thine be done” (Luke 22:42). And if, as happens in the Gethsemane, God were to see fit not to grant our request and send a cup to drink to the last drop, let us not forget that Jesus not only suffered, but then was also gloriously risen, and that we long for resurrection even through suffering.
Saint Maximilian Kolbe
