Laurentius Surius (1522–1578), a Carthusian monk and writer of the lives of saints wrote about how “a certain blind man obtained the restoration of his sight by praying to St. Bedasto, bishop. Thinking the matter over, he prayed again to his heavenly patron, but this time with the purpose that if the possession of his sight were not expedient for his soul, that his blindness should return. And that is exactly what happened—he was blind again. Therefore, in sickness it is better that we seek neither sickness nor health, but that we abandon ourselves to the will of God so that he may dispose of us as he wishes.” (Uniformity with God’s Will, St. Alphonsus de Liguori)
Ask yourself if you strive to surrender to God’s will in all things.
