Testing Times

St George Preca

My child: In his wisdom God tests in various ways those whom he loves. He never permits anyone to be tested beyond their ability. He is always ready to help all those who seek his help. Would any person load a mule beyond its strength? Every person who falls into temptation should realise that the fall is due only to one's own pride, because God helps humble people who pray with faith and do not rely on their own ability.

St George Preca

  • What do you normally say and feel when you're going through a hard time?
  • Do you ever think of it as being tested by God himself?
  • Do you pray and ask God's help in testing times?
