"When God helps us, a spider's web becomes a protecting wall; and without his help, a wall is no more protection than a spider's web." St. Paulinus

St. Paulinus was reflecting on story from the life of St. Felix. He was pursued by Roman soldiers, who wanted to capture, torture and execute him for being a Christian. In his flight, St. Felix came across a small hole in a wall, in which he crawled through, hoping that the soldiers would not notice the opening. When the soldiers came they saw the hole but it was covered by a spider's web. Seeing it unbroken they moved on. St. Felix's life was spared by God in his marvelous ways. We need to turn to the Lord and to trust in his help and divine providence. He is our only hope and security.
