Cardinal Newman



God created me

to do him some definite service;

he has committed some work to me

which he has not committed to another.

I have my mission -

I may never know it in this life,

but I shall be told it in the next ...

Therefore, I will trust him ...

If I am in sickness,

my sickness may serve him;

in perplexity,

my perplexity may serve him;

if I am in sorrow,

my sorrow may serve him ...

He does nothing in vain;

he may prolong my life,

he may shorten it,

he knows what he is about.
