Thursday of Lent Week 5

“If it is certain to you and you believe that God cares for you, you need not be anxious for your body nor have care concerning the guiding of yourself by means. But if you doubt this and desire to care for yourself, without God, you are more wretched than any man, and what does life mean to you? Throw your care on God, that you be strengthened against all fear. He who once has entrusted his life to God, will dwell in mental peace” (from The Mystical Treatises of Isaac of Niniveh, Homily 5, 67).
