Quote from St.

(02:09):

Meditation of the Day, anexcerpt from Abandonment to
Divine Providence by Fr.
Jean-Pierre de Cassade, p.
(02:31):
15 The will of God gives to allthings a supernatural and divine
value for the soul submitting toit.
The duties it imposes and thoseit contains, with all the
matters over which it isdiffused, become holy and
perfect because, being unlimitedin power, everything it touches
(02:52):
shares its divine character.
The entire virtue of all that iscalled holy is in its
approximation to this orderestablished by God.
Therefore, nothing should berejected, nothing sought after,
but everything accepted that isordained, and nothing attempted
contrary to the will of God.
(03:14):
When God requires action,sanctity is to be found in
activity.

at home in the body, we are awayfrom the Lord, for we walk by
faith, not by sight.
