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

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.

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

It fills me with joy to realize that I can lay down my life daily for God, that I can sacrifice it willingly for Him. I may not be a martyr for the faith, but I can be a martyr of charity.

If we love Jesus, we shall be loved in return by Him, and that is perfect happiness.

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

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