Quotation | Tomorrow we choose the one who is to lead us for a certain time to God, to make saints of us. I got time to think about it and to remind myself of the vow I will renew when he is installed"”that is to be tomorrow also. And what it means. I read over St. John of the Cross' remarks about obedience in the Cautelas, and all I want is to carry them out, to let God guide me by the one He is choosing. |
