"We must be faithful to the present moment or we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives. Worry is a weakness from which very few of us are entirely free. We must be on guard against this most insidious enemy of our peace of soul. Instead let us foster confidence in God, and thank Him ahead of time for whatever he chooses to send us."
Solanus Casey
"Wonderful providence indeed which is so silent, yet so efficacious, so constant, so unerring. This is what baffles the power of Satan. He cannot discern the Hand of God in what goes on; and though he would fain meet it and encounter it, in his mad and blasphemous rebellion against heaven, he cannot find it."
J. H. Newman
“The books which the Holy Spirit is writing are the living, with every soul a volume in which the divine author makes a true revelation of His word, showing it to every heart, unfolding it in every moment.
There is not a moment in which God does not present Himself under the cover of some pain to be endured, of some consolation to be enjoyed, or of some duty to be performed. All that takes place within us, around us, or through us, contains and conceals His divine action.
All simple souls must admire and respect one another, saying: 'Let us each proceed along our path to the same goal, united in purpose and by means of God's order which, in its great variety, is in us all.'
To escape the pain caused by regret for the past or fear about the future, this is the rule to follow: leave the past to the infinite mercy of God, the future to His good Providence, and give the present wholly to His love by being faithful to His grace.”
Jean-Pierre de Caussade
This is one squirrelly market.
Thanks Fed. And thank you regulators and legislators.
The Dollar bounced back up a bit to take back the 92 handle.
Gold and silver gave back some of yesterday's gains.
Stocks were trading weakly, but managed to rally back in the last ten minutes of trading.
Yay us!
The clearing report is included for gold showed quite a bit of new activity.
A new warehouse report for Hong Kong has not yet been issued.
I think August and September might prove to be rather interesting.
Have a pleasant weekend.
