SUMMARY:Lenten Weekday
DESCRIPTION:SUBMISSION TO GOD IN SUFFERING\nFrom the writing of Dom Columba Marmion 7\n◊◊◊\nWhen we thus submit ourselves entirely to Christ Jesus\, when we\nabandon ourselves to Him\, when our soul only responds\, like His own\, with a\nperpetual Amen to all that He asks of us in the name of His Father… then Christ\nJesus establishes His peace in us: His peace\, not that which the world promises\,\nbut the true peace which can only come from Himself… \nDoubtless\, here below\, peace is not always sensible; upon earth we are in\na condition of trial and\, most often\, peace is won by conflict… We may be\nslighted\, opposed\, persecuted\, be unjustly treated\, our intentions and deeds\nmay be misunderstood; temptation may shake us\, suffering may come suddenly\nupon us; but there is an inner sanctuary which none can reach; here is the\nsojourn of our peace\, because in this innermost secret of the soul dwell\nadoration\, submission and abandonment to God. “I love my God\,” said St.\nAugustine\, “no one takes Him from me: no one takes from me what I ought to\ngive Him\, for that is enclosed 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\ncome before Thee\, I had no advocate to plead my cause!… Come Thou with me\nto judgment… 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;\nit is 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 Cmarmion\, O.S.B.\nCompiled by Dom Raymund Thibaut\, O.S.B. Westminster\, Maryland: The Newman Press\, 1954. 220-221\, 232-233.
