#4 Don’t Let Your Misfortune Upset You

Don’t ever allow yourself to become upset by your misfortunes. In face of your misery, should you find yourself in this situation by the will of God, remain humble and lowly before God and be at great peace.

Respond to all misfortune, whatever it may be, with gentleness, peace, tenderness and interior moderation before God, abandoning yourself simply into His hands so that He may make of you and in you what He pleases.

Wish calmly and peacefully to live

only

for Him,

through Him

and

in Him.

Francois-Marie-Jacob Libermann (1802-1852)

A converted Jew, founder of the Fathers of the Holy Spirit.
