Let all your thoughts be with the Most High, and direct your humble prayers unceasingly to Christ. If you cannot contemplate high and heavenly things, take refuge in the Passion of Christ, and love to dwell within His Sacred Wounds. For if you devoutly seek the Wounds of Jesus and the precious marks of His Passion, you will find great strength in all troubles.

Now is the time to be doing, now is the time to be stirring, now is the time to amend myself.

Whatsoever is done in charity, however small and of no reputation it be, bringeth forth good fruit.
