Chapter Four
Confidence in God and Our Spiritual Necessities Our Lord Is Merciful to Sinners
Divine Providence feeds the birds of the trees; It also takes care of our bodies. What is this body of misery? A fragile creature, one condemned to death and destined to be consumed by w01m s. In the mad rush of life, we think that all things lead to business or to pleasures. However, every step moves us closer to the end. We ourselves drag our corpses to the edge of the grave. If God so concerns Himself with perishable bodies, w ith what solicitude w ill He not look after our immo1ial souls? He prepares for them treasures of grace, whose riches exceed all that we can imagine. He sends them superabundant help for their sanctification and salvation. These means of sanctification that the Faith puts at our disposal w ill not be studied here.
