“God gives us the vision, then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience.”

                                    -Oswald Chambers

For Reflection:

How have I done in my “valley” experiences? Has patience kept me steadfast or have I given way so that God’s desires for me have not been accomplished? (See tomorrow’s Grace Line for another spiritual insight on God’s will, timing, and patience.)

ABOUT ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT pg xii

One of St. Louis De Montfort's greatest problems was the opposition he encountered from propagators of the Jansenist heresy, which was then very active in France....Although Jansenism had been condemned by the Church twice even before St. Louis De Montfort's birth, its teachings continued to spread and to influence people for a century.  In contrast, St Louis De Montfort preached confidence in Mary and union with her Divine Son.
