Whatever God gives and permits: temptation,
being tried by people, hurt or abuse, or any sort of trouble,
he gives and permits it for our good,
either to cleanse us of our sins,
or for our growth in perfection and grace.

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century

Nothing can be done without God’s command,
and he cannot ordain anything that is not for my good.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century

Rest in the care and love
that Divine Providence has for you in all your needs.

 
St. Jane Frances de Chantal, 17th century

If we are poor, God is rich.

 
St. Alphonse Liguori, 18th century

Let us consider the care
with which the Father and Creator of the whole world
provides for the whole of his creation.

 
St. Clement of Rome, 1st century

We have put our trust in him.
Have faith in him; truth can never deceive.

 
St. Gaudentius of Brescia, 5th century

The more you abandon to God
the care of all earthly things,
the more he will take care
to provide for all your wants.

 
St. John Baptist de la Salle, 18th century

Nothing escapes God’s loving watchfulness:
our work, our needs, our health, as well as our infirmities,
our life and our death.
Even the smallest hair on our head cannot fall
without his permission.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century
