It is hard to bear with people who stand still along the way, lose heart, and seek their happiness in little pleasures which they cling to...You feel sad about all that self-indulgence and self-satisfaction, for you know with an indestructible certainty that something greater is coming.

Precisely where I feel my poverty is where I discover God's blessing.

To live in the present, we must deeply believe that what is most important is in the here and now.
