Goodness

O Heart of Love, I put all my trust in You. For I fear all things from
my own weakness, but I hope for all things from Your goodness. Amen


St. Margaret Mary Alacoque


Our hearts are meant for love, hope, courage, faith, and trust. We are
not meant for fear, sadness, insecurity, depression, or loneliness. So
much of our mental capacity to hope is about our will. Grace comes
through many things, but our reaction to this grace is found in the
will. If we truly believe that God loves us, and that He only wants
our good, then this will affect our will to hope. When we fail, we
still hope. When we fall, we still rejoice in God. We can hope for all
things from His goodness, if we choose to.
