God never ceases to speak to us, but the noise of the world without and the tumult of our passions within bewilder us and prevent us from listening to him

I believe that we are conforming to the divine order and the will of Providence when we are doing even indifferent things that belong to our condition.

You can often help others more by correcting your own faults than theirs. Remember, and you should, because of your own experience, that allowing God to correct your faults is not easy. Be patient with people, wait for God to work with them as He wills.

No human power can force the intrenchments of the human mind: compulsion never persuades; it only makes hypocrites.

Speak, move, act in peace.
