JOSEPH, MOST PRUDENT,
PRAY FOR US.
In haste this morning, which is not unusual for a Monday, I turned to a favorite book received 21 years ago, Ronda De Sola Chervin, Quotable Saints (Servant, 1992). Turning to the first quotation listed for Saint John of the Cross, I found this: "Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent." Enough said.
SAINT JOHN OF THE CROSS,
PRAY FOR US.
