George Matulaitis Journal

before, I sense His close presence throughout the day. That kind of intimacy gives me the zeal and the courage to face the inevitable challenges that arise; it gives meaning to all I do, no matter how insignificant or seemingly irrelevant. That first hour stokes the furnace that keeps the fire aglow. That was a lesson that Blessed George Matulaitis learned many years ago — a lesson that made him the extraordinary person he was. All of us owe a debt of gratitude to those who have gone before us and have become models of the Christian life. All who read George Matulaitis-Matulewicz Journal will find in him a reliable spiritual mentor. September 14, 1994 Feast of the Triumph of the Cross 9
