Catholic Bible Recollection Of The Day 2 Corinthians 12:9
Saint Paul in the 2nd letter to the Corinthians, chapter 12 tells us of a revelation that he had of Our Lord. He gives us an inkling of the remarkable vision that he had of Heaven and the extraordinary wonders that he was permitted to gaze upon.
He goes on to say that to prevent him from getting a swollen head over this special gift from Our Lord, he was given a 'thorn'. A thorn which was painful and for which he prayed earnestly to Our Lord to deliver him from. The answer he received forms the verse which we are reading now. Our Lord goes on to say that His Grace is all that Saint Paul needs to support him.
This goes for all of us today. Every day, every hour, every minute, God extends His Hand of Grace to you to help you get through whatever that you are facing.
God says:
You are weak, I am strong.
You are restless, I am restful.
You are unable, I am able.
You are powerless, I am powerful.
Where all your efforts end, let His Grace take over.
So today, accept the Grace that God is offering you and remember that nothing is impossible for Him. Surrender to Him and let Him take over your life and it's problems. And in the words of Saint Paul in his letter to the Philippians 4:4:
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"
