14 December 2021 Dealing With
Misfortunes
A
man of discernment, meditating on the healing Divine Providence, bears with
thanksgiving the misfortunes that come to him. He sees their causes in his own
sins, and not in anyone else. But a mindless man, when he sins and receives the
punishment for it, considers the cause of his misfortune to be God, or people,
not understanding God’s care for him.
Saint
Maximos the Confessor (580-662)
