I see what you mean about ohoh. Sometimes there's consolation before something hard things happen; sometimes trials before something good happens. Once, my spiritual director said all kinds of prophetic, consoling things to me and I thought, 'oh oh', and hard things did happen but looking back, God absolutely provided. I keep reminding myself hard doesn't mean bad. Jesus, I trust in you indeed! God bless you and your family!
Wow, thank you for this. As I get older I am finding myself to be drawn more to various Catholic things at times. I am going to start paying more attention. I will say I suddenly became quite interested in St. Faustina and our church had a "field trip" to see a movie about her life which impressed me more and I read her diary. I did find out there was quite a reason for it which I won't get into here. But it was a way through which God took care of me through a very difficult time. Although I tend to start thinking: ohoh I am into this or that too much, what tragedy is going to befall me that this is preparing me for. Jesus, I trust in you!
That's a great example of how God provides us with the spiritual gifts needed during difficult times. He goes before us, preparing the way.
Spiritual 'gifts', so different from earthly gifts. Let me count the ways..
