I think most of us know this quote.
While at the memorial service for Cole last week, Father Patrick brought this quote into his sermon.
This a Catholic Priest. I'm paraphrasing here, but, what I remember him saying:
People misuse this quote (after he had said the quote). Then he says, it's not true. If God were NOT to give you something you can't handle - there would be no suicides. God gives me things everyday I can't handle.
Father Patrick then continues on:
He may give ME something I can't handle. BUT, he won't give US - the community, this group of people, etc. Something WE can't handle.
Father Patrick had another great story relating a biblical tale to us the next day at the Mass funeral service.
Cole was here to remind us there are things greater than I.
