Be Content With Doing Calmly The Little

Simplicity Brings Back The Joys Of Paradise. Not That We Have Pure Pleasure Without A Moment's Suffering, But When We Are Surrendered To God, We Are Not Grasping For Pleasure, And Even Our Troubles Are Received With Thanksgiving. This Inner Harmony, And This Deliverance From Fear And The Tormenting Desires Of Self, Create A Satisfaction In The Soul Which Is Above All The Intoxicating Joys Of This World Put Together.

As The Reflections Of Our Pride Upon Our Defects Are Bitter, Disheartening, And Vexatious, So The Return Of The Soul Towards God Is Peaceful And Sustained By Confidence. You Will Find By Experience How Much More Your Progress Will Be Aided By This Simple, Peaceful Turning Towards God, Than By All Your Chagrin And Spite At .the Faults That Exist In You.

Resign Every Forbidden Joy; Restrain Every Wish That Is Not Referred To God's Will; Banish All Eager Desires, All Anxiety; Desire Only The Will Of God; Seek Him Alone And Supremely, And You Will Find Peace.

The Smallest Things Become Great When God Requires Them Of Us; They Are Small Only In Themselves; They Are Always Great When They Are Done For God.

To Be Faithful In Prayer It Is Indispensable That We Arrange All The Activities Of The Day With A Regularity That Nothing Can Disturb
