“If we patiently accept through love all that God allows to happen, then we will begin to taste even here on earth something of the delights the saints experience in heaven. But for this we must serve God willingly and lovingly, seeking to obey the Divine Will rather than to follow our own inclinations and desires. For the perfection of love demands that we desire for ourselves only whatever God wills. Let us implore the good God unceasingly to grant us this grace!” – St. Jane Frances de Chantal
(God’s plan is so much better than our own… He knew we needed her!)
DEAREST Patron, St. Jane Frances de Chantal,
in baptism I received thy name and was put under thy special care. Oh, teach me to be like thee! Help me to avoid sin and to practice virtue. Be always at my side to guide me and protect me, and bring me safe to Heaven, that I may be ever happy with thee in the presence of God.
(She is such a sweetie! I’m hoping to add her birth and baptism pictures to the blog soon.)
Oh, she's so beautiful! So glad to hear of her safe arrival! Congratulations to you and the family!
