God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will, and to do it fully.

Among the many signs of a lively faith and hope we have in eternal life, one of the surest is not being overly sad at the death of those whom we dearly love in our Lord.

For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As for joy, as little as one can have of it in this life, experience shows that it is not the idle who possess it, but those who are zealous in the service of God.
