How can we carry Christ to others while trusting that God brings good from every circumstance? In this meditation, Fr. Paul Donlan shares two personal encounters with St. Josemaría Escrivá that shaped his spiritual life: first, receiving the inscription Semper ut iumentum (“always like a donkey”), symbolizing humble, constant service in carrying Christ to others, and later Omnia in bonum (“all things unto the good”), expressing confidence that God can bring good from every trial for those who love Him. Through these memories, Fr. Paul reflects on humility, selfless service, divine filiation, and trust in God’s providence, encouraging listeners to see themselves as instruments of Christ and to recognize how God can transform even life’s hardships into blessings.
