Meaning of who God gives it to, Saint Peter bless it (what is it, concept and definition)

What it is To whom God gives it, Saint Peter bless it:

"To whom God gives it, Saint Peter bless it" is a saying that comes from the Christian religious imagery. It is used to teach how to remain calm in those situations in which it is useless to resist.

From the spiritual point of view, it starts from the principle that things that happen are either God's will or God has allowed them. Consequently, just as Saint Peter can only obey, the person must accept his lot and ask for Saint Peter's blessing.

The invocation of Saint Peter has full meaning in the saying, since this saint had to learn to obey God, but also, according to religious belief, Saint Peter received from Jesus the charge of being head of the Church, people of God.

However, in some variants, the name of Saint Peter is replaced by some patron saint. For example: "To whom God gives it, Saint Anton bless it."

In any case, when invoking the saying, the person finds the necessary calm to face reality as it presents itself, without trying to resist the inevitable. This saying should not be understood as defeatist. On the contrary, it invites you to assume a positive attitude towards luck.

Whoever invokes him knows that although he cannot avoid unfavorable circumstances, he can make the best of them by behaving bravely and mature.
