Excerpt
In these thou art not to be cast down nor to despair, but to rest with calm mind on the will of God, and to bear all things which come upon thee unto the praise of Jesus Christ; for after winter cometh summer, after night returneth day, after the tempest a great calm.

✨ To meditate on today
According to The Imitation of Christ, in moments when we feel poor and weak, we must neither lose heart nor despair, but rest calmly in God, for summer follows winter and day returns after night. Today, if something weighs on you, tell yourself “after the tempest, a great calm” and entrust this moment to God while you wait for calm to return.
