GENTILESCHI, Orazio
The Vision of St Francesca Romana
1615-19
After discussing with my mother-in-law, yesterday, my frustrations at my life, my lack of time to finish any single thing, she sent me this saintly quote. It is comforting to know that there are saintly words of wisdom for every problem, showing us that we are not the first, nor the last, to experience each difficulty.
"When night falls and, looking back, we see that everything was fragmentary and much remained unfinished; when some things arouse deep shame and remorse; then take it all just the way it is, and put it in God's hands and leave it to Him. Thus you can rest in Him, truly rest, and start the new day as a new life." --St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross - Edith Stein
Whenever I lay down and slept, the Lord preserved me to rise again. Psalms 3:6
