God Does Not Abandon Us
PRAYER.

Holy Spirit of God, inspire me with Your grace to understand what is going on in the world and in the Church. Let me be in tune with the Church.

GOD works wondrously in the world and at certain eras His providence puts on a new aspect. Religion seems to be failing when it is merely changing its form. God seems for an instant to desert His own.

The Christian must take everything as God's gift, hold fast his principles, not give them up because appearances are for the moment against them, but believe all things will come round at length.
