The Christian is able to find strength in weakness when he realizes that his strength comes not from his humanity, but from\u00a0God’s grace acting in\u00a0extraordinary form.<\/b><\/div>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sacrament of Confession is meeting with the mercy of God. In<\/span>\u00a0it we find strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“… and I am well pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions and in anguish because of Christ. <\/span>For when I am weak, then I am strong. “<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Finding strength in weakness is no easy task, you must be aware, in prayer, focused on God. <\/span>I speak particularly of the tribulations of those serve God. <\/span>It’s easy to be betrayed by our feelings and to forget the reasons and objectives for which we choose to remain faithful to the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

But in this reading today (Below), Paul speaks of a thorn in the flesh, an Angel of Satan to beat\u00a0him and despite having asked Jesus three times, he was not released. <\/span>What would it be? <\/span>Temptation? <\/span>Sin? <\/span>An angel that really the punches?<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know. <\/span>The fact is that Jesus allowed this so Paul wouldn’t be proud for living\u00a0so close to him and experience so many graces. <\/span>So Paul gloried not\u00a0<\/span><\/span>in mystical feats, but in all he suffered for <\/span>J<\/span>esus and the proclamation of the Gospel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do we have that kind of courage?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Read the passage in II Cor 12, 7-10<\/b><\/p>\n

Title: Weakness and strength<\/b><\/p>\n

Eternal Principles<\/b><\/p>\n

II Cor 12, 9<\/span><\/p>\n

” <\/span>But the Lord said unto me, my grace is enough for you; as it is in weakness that the force is carried out fully. “<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Make a note in your diary of\u00a0\u00a0God’s message to you and how to put it into practice.<\/span><\/p>\n
