I say to the Lord, "My Lord are you."
I AM GRATEFUL TO HIM WHO HAS STRENGTHENED ME, CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.
(1 Tim 1:12)
Browsing through my Quotable Saints book, I found this quotation which happens to fit nicely between the words from Saint Paul above and the ones you will find below.
If we have any natural defect, either in mind or body, let us not grieve or be sorry for ourselves. Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it? Let us, then, return thanks for what He has bestowed on us. Who can tell whether, if we had a larger share of ability or stronger health, we should not have possessed them to our destruction.
(Saint Alphonsus Liguori, 1696-1787)
THE GRACE OF OUR LORD HAS BEEN ABUNDANT, ALONG WITH THE FAITH AND LOVE THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS.
(1 Time 1:14)
