Who knows what the Lord can do with you!

"When Samson came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him. Then the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that has caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands. ¹⁵ And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put out his hand and took it, and with it he struck 1,000 men. And Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey have I struck down a thousand men." Judges 15:14-16

St. John Mary Vianney. The Cure of Ars

Here we have a humble priest, a humble country man, with very limited abilities for book learning, yet very contemplative, open to the Spirit and things supernatural, a real man of God. He was made the parish priest in a God-forgotten little town, where he could do little wrong. And no wrong he did. After a few years everyone knew where the little town of Ars was, and the learned and the great as well as the poor and the little one came to seek his counsel, absolution and help. When his ordination was discussed and one of his professors called him a “complete donkey” and wondered what he could accomplish, he said, “If Samson could defeat and kill a thousand Philistines with a donkey’s jawbone, who knows what the Lord could do with whole donkey like me?”

Who knows what the Lord can do with you!
