"We must wait for God long, meekly, in the wind and wet,
in the thunder and lightning, in the cold and the dark. Wait, and He will come. He never comes to those who do not wait."
-Father Faber
For Reflection:
How do I endure my waiting? Meekly? Lovingly? Hopefully? Confidently? I will ask God to give me the grace to see Him even as I wait.
25. ...Such has been the will of God, who has willed that we should have everything through Mary; so that she who, impoverished, humbled, and who hid herself even unto the abyss of nothingness by her profound humility her whole life long should now be enriched and exalted and honored by the Most High. Such are the sentiments of the Church and holy Fathers.
