All manner of thing shall be well!"

Everything that seems on the surface to be an evil may be a good in disguise. And everything that seems good on the surface may really be an evil. So we are wise when we leave it to God to decide what is good luck and what bad, and thank him that all things turn out for good with those who love him. Then we will share something of that marvelous mystical vision of Juliana of Norwich who uttered what for me is the loveliest and most consoling sentence I have ever read: "And all thing shall be well; and all thing shall be well; and all manner of thing shall be well!"
