“ My past, O Lord, to Your mercy; my present, to Your love; my future to Your providence.” (St. Padre Pio)

What a great attitude! My past with all the good and bad I have done is gone. I can’t change it, but I can pray for God’s mercy and forgiveness.  In each present moment I am called by God to receive his love and to respond to his love. My future is not here, but I have no control over it. I trust that God will be there with me showing me what to do and that I do only that. If I fully embrace this attitude and approach to life, how freer and richer will my life be! When I don’t, how more anxious I am. Lord, with your grace help me to live freer and richer in you.
