Our Own Fiat

​

It makes no difference what you do here on earth; what matters is the love with which you do it.  The street cleaner who accepts in God's name a cross arising from his state in life, such as the scorn of his peers; the mother who pronounces her fiat to the Divine Will as she raises a family for the kingdom of God; the afflicted in hospitals who say fiat to their cross of suffering are the uncanonized saints, for what is sanctity but fixation in goodness by abandonment to God's Holy Will?

​

Commit your way to the Lord;

trust in him, and he will act.

​

Psalm 37:5
