Being Wise in Evil Days - Jimmy Akin

My comment: This is not about passivity, for in all and any circumstance(s) we/I am called to do what I can, but then to leave the rest to God.  Sometimes out of that, a new opportunity may arise and then again I am called to do what I can leaving the rest to Him.  A very real part of doing what I can might be to discuss, even ask advice - to take some action.

Our Faith, Hope and our Charity are invested in The Lord and His Divine Providence.  To Him and Out of Him arises our praise and thanksgiving, our Peace and our Joy - and our investment in the Doctrine of Divine Providence.

He didn’t explain away his words as a symbol or a metaphor. Instead, he forcefully declared: “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.”

The message of Christ sometimes contains “hard sayings” like this, but because they come from God himself—the source of all truth—we can rely on them. In contrast to.............."............Read entire text on above link
