Worries? Of course; and thank God. How else are you going to be a saint? “When thou comest to the service of God, prepare thy soul for temptation” – which means trials and worries of all kinds.
If you train yourself to see God’s hand in all things and rather to be glad when everything goes wrong, you will enjoy great interior peace. Here is a most important spiritual maxim for you: A soul which is not at peace and happy will never be really holy.

on Thoughts for January 19 from Fr Willie Doyle.

Father Doyle points out as a reminder that life has moments that are allowed or sent directly from God for our own spiritual good. These times are to be expected, and they strengthen us in our spiritual life. Thank you, Father Doyle, for another great reminder. Please intercede for those who are discouraged by such difficult days. May they have an increase of faith and trust.
True a soul at peace and happy will be holy.
