"We need to be very trusting, but it is also true that when we let go of everything, our Lord takes care of all and manages all."
St. Francis de Sales

George Shinn
"It is very true that in order to surrender ourselves unreservedly to divine providence, we need to be very trusting. But it is also true that when we let go of everything, our Lord takes care of all and manages all. If we hold back anything, this shows a lack of trust in him. He lets us keep it."
