Thursday. [Rom. 8:22-27; Matt. 10:23-31]
There is nothing covered, that shall
not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Consequently, regardless of how we hide in our sins now,
it is of no use to us at all. The time will come—and
is it far off?—when all will come to light. What
should we do? Do not hide. If you have sinned—go and
reveal your sin to your spiritual father. When you receive
absolution, the sin vanishes, as if it never was. Nothing
will have to be revealed and shown. If you hide the sin
and do not repent, you keep it in yourself, so that there
will be something to come to light at the proper time unto
your accusation. God revealed all of this to us in
advance, so that while still here we will manage to disarm
His righteous and terrible judgment upon us
sinners.
Wednesday. [Rom. 8:2-13; Matt. 10:16-22]
He that endureth to the end shall be
saved. And do we have anything to endure? In this
nobody is lacking. Everyone’s arena of endurance is
vast; therefore our salvation is at hand. Endure
everything to the end and you will be saved. However, you
must endure skillfully; otherwise you may not gain
anything by your endurance. First of all, keep the holy
faith and lead an irreproachable life according to faith;
immediately cleanse every sin that occurs with repentance.
Secondly, accept everything that you must endure as from
the hands of God, remembering firmly that nothing happens
without God’s will. Thirdly, give thanks sincerely
to God for everything, believing that everything which
proceeds from the Lord is sent by Him unto the good of our
souls—thank Him for sorrows, and for consolations.
Fourth, love sorrow for its great saving worth and
cultivate your thirst for it, like a drink which although
bitter, is healing. Fifth, keep in your thoughts that when
a misfortune has come, you cannot throw it off like tight
clothes; you must bear it. Whether in a Christian way, or
in a non-Christian way, you must bear it nonetheless; so
it is better to bear it in a Christian way. Complaining
will not rescue you from misfortune, but only make it
heavier; whereas humble submission to God’s
Providence and good humour relieve the burden of
misfortunes. Sixth, realize that you deserve even a
greater misfortune—realize that if the Lord wanted
to deal with you as you rightly deserve, would such a
small misfortune really be enough? Seventh, most of all,
pray, and the merciful Lord will give you strength of
spirit. With such strength, others will marvel at your
misfortunes which seem like nothing to you.
