God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.

Why not love our crosses, and make use of them to take us to heaven? — John Vianney

You say they are mistaken? Why then, tell them so, and explain it to them, instead of being indignant. — Marcus Aurelius
