This is your tomorrow and today Quotes

“If we think of Kay and those kids along merely natural, Charlie, we're beaten. But don't have to think along those lines! God is God. He's asking us to believe as we never believed before. And the fist thing we've got to believe with all our being is that He knows what He is doing. You don't want this cancer. Neither do I. But obviously God wants us both to have it. So why not rejoice? We're always saying: 'Thy Will be done.' Let's do it. As for Kay and the kids, let's realize something we may never have fully realized before. They are His kids much more than they are yours. He is their Father much more completely than you could ever be. You and Kay brought them to birth. But who gave them being? God, of course. We don't believe enough in Divine Providence, Chic. That's why we got panicky. Don't you see that since God is the Father of you kids, He is obligated to care for them? Yes, I said obligated!! We pray the Our Father often enough, but we live the Our Father all too seldom. You're going to learn your Faith as you never learned it before - and you're going to live it as you never lived it before. God will take care of those kids. He has plans for their futures more complete than anything you could dream. What's more, He can make His plans come true. We don't trust God enough, Chic - and I believe it hurts Him. Show yourself to Him as you love your kids to show themselves to you. Your immediate concern is not the kids - or even Kay. Your immediate concern is to ready yourself for the most glorious moment of your existence: the moment of your meeting God face to face!”

“I would mince no words in the letter to Charlie. He would read the truth of what had been found in him, and what it meant. But he would read some other and much more vital truths in this same letter. He would read of what God ham made of him by Baptism, and what this same God had a right to expect from him after this latest gift. I would insist upon the reality of the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, and tell how special members are graced with the privilege of "filling up what is wanting to the Passion of Christ," as St. Paul has phrased it, and thus help God save mankind. Then I would urge my brother to look ahead. That would be my greatest objective. For experience had taught me how the clammy fogs of earth and human considerations are quickly dissipated by the white light of eternity which streams from the very throne of God - for those who have eyes to see it.”
