Catholic Quote of the Day

For many of us in mid-life and mid-stream, who are caught up in a particular long obedience and yet (Lord willin' as they used to say in MIssissippi) have many miles to go before we sleep, this wonderfully apt quote from St. Teresa of Avila speaks to our condition. Or at least to mine. The famous bookmark.


"Be not perplexed, be not afraid, everything passes.
God does not change. Patience wins all things.
He who has God lacks nothing.
God alone suffices.

Yep.

Waveland to be exact. On the Gulf Coast. Where the eye of Katrina passed. Waveland no longer exists.

Where are you?
