Status Updates From A Cidade de Deus, Vol. I

“The whole family of the supreme and true God, then, has its own consolation…….. Our God is present everywhere, wholly present everywhere, nowhere confined. He can be present without being seen, absent without moving away. When he afflicts me with adversity, he is either testing my merits or chastising my sins, and he is holding an eternal reward for my faithful endurance of temporal evils”
