The evening was opened with\u00a0a meditation by the recently beatified Cardinal John Henry Newman. Newman is someone I’ve like for some time. I haven’t read any of his works in their\u00a0entirety\u00a0(yet), but I’ve always enjoyed the excerpts I’ve come across.<\/p>\n
One thing I’ve always admired about Newman was his single-minded determination to follow the truth where ever it lead him and to serve Christ whatever the cost…<\/p>\n
God has created me to do Him some definite service; <\/p>\n I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. Therefore I will trust Him.

\nHe has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another.
\nI have my mission, I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\nHe has not created me for naught.
\nI shall do good. I shall do His work.
\nI shall be an angel of peace,
\na preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it,
\nif I do but keep His commandments<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
\nWhatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away.
\nIf I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him;
\nin perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him.
\nIf I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him.
\nHe does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about.
\nHe may take away my friends, He may throw me among strangers.
\nHe may make me feel desolate,
\nmake my spirits sink, hide my future from me,
\nstill He knows what He is about…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
