We are called upon not to be successful, but to be faithful.

Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.

If our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.

We are taught from the very first moment to discover Christ under the distressing disguixe of the poor, the sick, the outcasts. Christ presents Himself to us under every disguise: the dying, the paralytic, the leper, the invalid, the orphan.

Dearest Lord, may I see you today and every day in the person of your sick, and, whilst nursing them, minister unto you. Though you hide yourself behind the unattractive disguise of the irritable, the exacting, the unreasonable, may I still recognize you, and say: "Jesus, my patient, how sweet it is to serve you.

Suffering, if it is accepted together, borne together, is joy.

Be faithful in the little things.
