How does the death of Jesus really save us? I'd like to focus on one key aspect: Jesus' trusting surrender to God's mysterious will makes up for our mistrust.
One of the most valuable lessons that I've learned from the writings of saints and holy people is to live in the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or the future. Reflecting on the past and planning for the future both have their benefits, but they can also be an obstacle to holiness.
