First Sunday of Lent, Year C

With my God I can scale any wall (Ps. 18:29)

According to a letter to a missionary written by St. Vincent in 1655, mistrust of one’s strength should be the foundation of the trust one ought to have in God. So then, one should no longer fix his eyes on what he is but look at our Lord at his side and within him. The Lord is ready to put his hand to the task just a soon as one has recourse to him.
