SUMMARY:Reading: Lenten Weekday
DESCRIPTION:Submission to God in Suffering is a Source of Peace 7\nFrom the writings of Dom Columba Marmion \nWhen we thus submit ourselves entirely to Christ Jesus\, when we abandon\nourselves to Him\, when our soul only responds\, like His own\, with a perpetual\nAmen to all that He asks of us in the name of His Father… then Christ Jesus\nestablishes His peace in us: His peace\, not that which the world promises\, but the\ntrue peace which can only come from Himself… \nDoubtless\, here below\, peace is not always sensible; upon earth we are in a\ncondition of trial and\, most often\, peace is won by conflict… We may be slighted\,\nopposed\, persecuted\, be unjustly treated\, our intentions and deeds may be\nmisunderstood; temptation may shake us\, suffering may come suddenly upon us;\nbut there is an inner sanctuary which none can reach; here is the sojourn of our\npeace\, because in this innermost secret of the soul dwell adoration\, submission\nand abandonment to God. “I love my God\,” said St. Augustine\, “no one takes\nHim from me: no one takes from me what I ought to give Him\, for that is\nenclosed within my heart… \nDeath cannot trouble the soul that has sought only God. Has it not\nconfided itself to the One Who says: “He that believeth in Me\, although he be\ndead\, shall live”… \nIn one of her “Exercises\,” St. Gertrude allows her assurance\, which the\ninfinite merits of Jesus give her\, to overflow. “Woe\, woe unto me\, if\, when I come\nbefore Thee\, I had no advocate to plead my cause!… Come Thou with me to\njudgment… there let us stand together. Judge me\, for the right is Thine; but\nremember Thou are also my Advocate. In order that I be fully acquitted\, Thou\nhas but to recount what Thou didst become for love of me\, the price wherewith\nThou hast purchased me… \nFor souls moved by such sentiments\, death is but a transition; Christ\ncomes Himself to open to them the gates of the heavenly Jerusalem… There will\nbe no more darkness\, trouble\, tears\, or sighs; but peace\, infinite and perfect\npeace. “Peace first becomes ours with the longing and seeking for the Creator; it\nis in the full vision and eternal possession of Him that peace is made perfect.” \n7 Marmion\, Dom Columba\, O.S.B. Suffering with Christ: An anthology of the Writings of Dom Columba\nMarmion\, O.S.B. Compiled by Dom Raymund Thibaut\, O.S.B. Westminster\, Maryland: The Newman\nPress\, 1954. 220-221\, 232-233.
