Letting go of loss and failure – 3

Finally, put your trust in the Lord. “Do not let your hearts be troubled,” Have faith in God and faith in Me” (Jn 14.1).

So don’t worry too much. Continue the good works you’re doing in the Legion of Mary – or even double the dosage.

The Lighter side. Once there was a man who was suffering from insomnia because of too much anxiety. He decided to try the old remedy for insomnia: Counting sheep.He went to bed and closed his eyes, but when the first sheep came along it stumbled and fell.
Would someone come along to help the sheep? Ho many more sheep would come along and stumble over the fallen sheep? How much more would the shepherd lose as a result of the accident?


The Man was so personally involved with the situation that the more he could not sleep! Lesson: Let go of anxieties and leave room for God’s action.

The wise never marry. And when they marry they become otherwise.
