Letters From a Young Catholic

My reflections as a Catholic young adult passionate about the Faith, seeking to grow in knowledge and understanding of God and discerning the will of the Lord in my life.

Peace

"Seek his face Who ever dwells in real and bodily presence in his Church. Do at least as much as the disciples did. They had but little faith; they feared; they had no great confidence or peace, but at least they did not keep away from Christ. . . Do not keep from him, but, whne you are in trouble, come to him day by day, asking him earnestly and perserveringly for those favours which he alone can give. . . So, though he discerns much infirtmity in you which ought not to be there, yet he will deign to rebuke the winds and the sea, and say: "Peace, be still." And there will be a great calm."
- J. H. Newman
