This year is marked by gloomy and unknowable prospects. Here are some thoughts on the virtue of confidence that will strengthen the soul.
“Have confidence, I have overcome the world.”
Our Lord Jesus Christ
“And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.”
Our Lord Jesus Christ
“Confidence is a hope fortified by solid conviction.”
Saint Thomas Aquinas
“Advance very simply with the Cross of Our Lord, and have peace with yourself. You will pass through every storm safely, as long as your trust is fixed on God.”
Saint Francis de Sales
“O my God, far from discouraging me in the face of my miseries, I come to you with confidence.”
Saint Therese of the Child Jesus
“My inability is great, but God is all-powerful; I put all my trust in Him.”
Saint Francis Xavier
“Become confident souls. Our Lord and Our Lady invite you to do this. You will become souls of peace at the same time.”
Fr. Thomas de Saint Laurent
“Your pains, as I hope, at the time of my death will give me courage, strength and confidence not to despair, in view of how much I have offended my Lord.”
Saint Alphonsus de Liguori
“Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, and called thee by thy name: thou art mine. When thou shalt pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and the rivers shall not cover thee: when thou shalt walk in the fire, thou shalt not be burnt, and the flames shall not burn in thee.”
Isaiah 43:1-2
