My Mission
God has
created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me
which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it
in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a
bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall
do good; I shall do His work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth
in my own place, while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments.
Therefore, I will trust Him, whatever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am
in sickness, my sickness may serve Him, in perplexity, my perplexity may serve
Him. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He
knows what He is about. He may take away my friends. He may throw me among
strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future
from me. Still, He knows what He is about. – Cardinal John
Henry Newman
