WRESTLING WITH GOD
Preparing to take religious vows, a young novice asked the oldest member of the order, “Father, do you still wrestle with the devil?” The elderly priest replied, “No, my son. I have grown old and the devil has grown old with me. He does not bother me as before. Now I wrestle with God.” Surprised, the novice asked, “Wrestle with God? Do you hope to win?” “Oh no,” said the wrinkled old man, “I hope to lose.” William J. Freburger in Priest magazine
