Be Calm and Peaceful
God
wishes our care to be a calm and peaceful one as we proceed faithfully along
the road marked out for us. As for the rest, we should rest in God’s fatherly
care, trying as far as is possible to keep our soul at peace, for the place of
God is in peace and in the peaceful and restful heart. You know that when the
lake is very calm – and when the winds do not agitate its waters – on a very
serene night the sky with all its stars is so perfectly reflected in the water
that looking down into its depths the beauty of the heavens is as clearly
visible as if we were looking up on high. So when our soul is perfectly calm,
unstirred and untroubled by the winds of superfluous cares, unevenness of
spirit and inconstancy it is very capable of reflecting in itself the image of
Our Lord.
Saint Francis de Sales
