Happy Wednesday to you and your family from Sacred Heart Catholic Church in downtown Winona, Mississippi!
“This is the secret to holiness: Whatever is happening, this is God’s will for me right now.”
— Fr. Mike Schmitz
Holiness begins when we stop fighting every part of the present moment and ask, “God, how can I love You here?”
This does not mean every painful or sinful thing is caused by God. Evil is never His will, but He may permit trials and bring grace from them.
Right now, His will may be patience, forgiveness, courage, prayer, or simply doing the next good thing with love. We often wait for life to become easier before becoming faithful, but saints are formed by saying yes to God in ordinary, difficult moments.
💬 Are you asking God to change your situation before you are willing to obey Him in it?
