YOU CAN’T!

By Fr. Marino H. Msigala, OFM Capuchin

WORKOUT WEDNESDAY

A Midweek Spiritual Workout with
Fr. Marino H. Msigala, O.F.M. Capuchin
 

YOU CAN’T!







You can’t change the past.
You can’t predict the future.
But you can ruin the present,
By worrying about both.
 
So, there’s only one thing to do…
Trust God.
 
On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, listen to St. Padre Pio, who said, “Pray, hope, and don’t worry.”
