How very beautiful and consoling our faith is! For the little work we do here on earth it promises in return all the joys of assured happiness.

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.

Learn to let others do their share of the work. Things may be done less well, but you will have more peace of soul and health of body. And what temporal interest should we not sacrifice in order to gain these blessings?

All desire but that of doing God's holy will has been extinguished in me.

Really, it is the Lord who carries the cross, for He knows how to make the soul content with little or no consolation and always to find strength in the words..."Thy will be done."

There are no difficulties except for those who worry too much about tomorrow.

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difficult, but it is made easier by the unction of grace and alleviated by an all-kind Providence whose help is never withdrawn and whose protection is felt at every moment.
