Be at peace.
Do not look forward in fear to the changes in life.
Rather look forward to them with full hope as they arise.
God, whose very own you are,
Will deliver you from out of them.
He has kept you hitherto,
And He will lead you safely through all things.
And when you cannot stand it,
God will bury you in his arms.
Do not fear what may happen tomorrow.
The same everlasting Father who cares for you today
Will take care of you then,
And everyday.
He will either shield you from suffering,
Or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace.
And, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
Amen.
St. Francis de Sales.
