Lenten Meditation - March 9, 2006

When something distasteful or unpleasant comes your way, remember Christ crucified and be silent.

Life in faith and hope, even though you are in darkness, because it is in these darknesses that God protects the soul. Cast your care upon God, for He watches over you and will not forget you. Do not think that He leaves you alone; that would be an affront to Him.

- St. John of the Cross, Collected Works: the Minor Works
