St. Francis of Assisi was hoeing his garden when someone asked what he would do if he were suddenly to learn that he would die before sunset that very day. "I would finish hoeing my garden," he replied.

If a superior give any order to one who is under him which is against that man's conscience, although he do not obey it yet he shall not be dismissed.

Be patient in trials, watchful in prayer, and never cease working.

What you are looking for is what is looking.

It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.

What is it that stands higher than words? Action. What is it that stands higher than action? Silence.

Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty.
