What do Catholic author and
blogger, Tony Agnesi, and St. Claude de la Colombiere, the 17th century
spiritual director and author of Trustful
Surrender to Divine Providence, share in common? - a steadfast and unswerving trust in God.
St. Claude used the following words to describe that level of
trust:
“It is one of the most firmly
established and most consoling of truths that have been revealed to us that
(apart from sin) nothing happens to us in life unless God wills it so.”
and
“Be convinced that in all He
allows and in all that happens to you God has no other end in view but your
real advantage and your eternal happiness…”
These truths are consoling but oh how so difficult to live!
In his latest book, A Storyteller’s Guide to Joyful Service –
Turning Your Misery into Ministry, Tony Agnesi shares stirring examples
of individuals (including himself) who stepped out in faith, trusted God’s
promptings and allowed themselves to be used as instruments of healing and
hope.
