To be content always...

 But you are a shield around me, O LORD;
you bestow glory on me 
and lift up my head. - Psalm 3:3

to be content

is to have our Lord."

When Turibius undertook the reform 
of the clergy as well as unjust officials, 
he naturally suffered opposition.
Some tried, in human fashion,
to explain God's law in such a way
as to sanction their accustomed way of life. 
He answered them in the words of Tertullian,
"Christ said, 'I am the truth';
he did not say, 'I am the custom.'"
 

St Turibius, pray for us!
Pray - Fast - Give
