WORKOUT WEDNESDAY   A Midweek Spiritual Workout with Fr. Marino H.

I don’t know how to handle this situation. I don’t know how to get through this. And then… With whatever little grain of faith that you can muster, say, “But You know…” And just leave it there. God hears your prayer. And He will never abandon you. On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, just remember that even if you don’t know, God does. And He is at your side. Walk with Him.
