From Him and Through Him:

Today, dear Jesus, when my thoughts get complicated and I start to think too many things, whisper to me the simple truth that it is all from you…through you…to you.
Insights – Faith:

In today’s Gospel, Peter received the divine insight that Jesus is “the Son of the living God.” Peter was a man with an open mind towards God’s Truths and a generous heart to do God’s Will. Ego-centeredness is one of the main obstacles to receiving divine insights. How true is this of us?

Whatever did not fit in with my plan did lie within the plan of God. I have an ever deeper and firmer belief that nothing is merely an accident when seen in the light of God, that my whole life down to the smallest details has been marked out for me in the plan of Divine Providence and has a completely coherent meaning in God's all-seeing eyes. And so I am beginning to rejoice in the light of glory wherein this meaning will be unveiled to me.
