I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.
God prefers your health, and your obedience, to your penance.
Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.
The more we see that any action springs not from the motive of obedience, the more evident is it that it is a temptation of the enemy; for when God sends an inspiration, the very first effect of it is to infuse a spirit of docility.
But the fact is, things always seem to come slowly when you are longing for them.
Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself.
