A meditation by Cardinal John Henry Newman:

« on: 09 November, 2007,; 09:32 »

"God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission--I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.

I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for nothing. I shall do good. I shall do His work.

Therefore I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am. I cannot be thrown away.

If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him;
in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him;
if I am in sorrow, my sorrow will serve Him.

He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me--still He knows what He is about"

Cardinal Newman is fantastisch. Hoog tijd dat hij heilig verklaart wordt (goed, dat is dan niet aan mij, maar toch...)
