If humility is always desirable, generous humility is still more so.

How truly blessed we shall be if at the price of even very great sacrifices we shall have made God known and loved by one more soul!

What interests you most is our present condition: it is what we would have desired, thorny and difficult, but it is made easier by the unction of grace and alleviated by an all-kind Providence whose help is never withdrawn and whose protection is felt at every moment.

Strengthen in us, O God, the work You have begun in us.

The worst defect in the world would be to consider yourself free from faults. Being too greatly saddened by one's faults can come from having one's pride humiliated.

Do not look back to the past, nor forward to the future. Claim only the present, for it holds God's will.

How can we thankful? We can only love the Heart of Jesus more generously and by our union with Him, become the most humble.
