There is nothing small in the service of God.

When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.

Frequent not the company of immodest persons, especially if they be also impudent, as is generally the case; ...these corrupted souls and infected hearts scarcely speak to any, either of the same or a different sex, without causing them to fall in some degree from purity; they have poison in their eyes and in their breath, like basilisks. On the contrary, keep company with the chaste and virtuous; often meditate upon and read holy things; for the word of God is chaste, and makes those also chaste that delight in it.

God requires a faithful fulfillment of the merest trifle given us to do, rather than the most ardent aspiration to things to which we are not called.

Consider all the past as nothing, and say, like David: Now I begin to love my God.

The Lord delights in every little step you take.

To love our neighbor in charity is to love God in man.
