We may not understand His Will for us in time, but in eternity the veil will be drawn and we shall see that He acted only for our happiness.

Jesus went before us on the narrow path along which He beckons us to follow Him.

Let us bear our cross and leave it to God to determine the length and the weight.

Let us never lose courage or despair of God's mercy. We have only to humble ourselves before God in order to obtain grace to become all that we ought to be.

The dear Lord has favored us with a share of His cross. The greatest and undoubtedly the hardest to bear is the lack of success in our work here. If a saint had been in charge, all would have gone well.

Let us realize that we are sinners and have much to explate, while others less culpable than we are suffer more than we do.

Those who desire only the good pleasure of God abide in peace even in the midst of failure, for God has not told us that He requires success of us.
