"We have need of three things: First, Faith. Second, Faith. Third, Faith." Mother Gavriella (from The ascetic of love, p. 347)
Reading the life and works of Mother Gavriella always lifts up my spirit. Her pure and incredible trust to Christ the Lord moved my heart, even lots of time brings me to tears. How I realized the fragility and shaky my trust has been and how ungrateful I am to the beautiful and holy Will of The Lover of mankind.
Very easy it is for me either by my weak will and pursue of comfort or by difficult occasion, to fall into sweet melancholicity or any negative thoughts.
So often, sincere answer of any complex whining and whimpering question which I posed is... "Have faith". God is love and in Christ we experience what it means. How He really does love us. He commands and bless us when He said not to worry about anything but trust God who cares. Have faith!
That certainly does not mean that everything will be so smooth and easy like prosperity thingy tells. Rather peace then instilled in our heart whatever befalls. We no longer see the storm too big as to sink but we see The Lord is greater than this; so we fix our gaze to Him. We can put on such sincere smile in knowing that the Lord is watching over us and that He loves us.
Ameyn! Very true words, Son,very true.
