Be Who You Are And Do That

Never Be Hurried In Anything. Do All Things Calmly And In A Spirit Of Repose. Do Not Lose Your Inward Peace Even If Everything Seems To Be Going Wrong. What Is Anything In Life Compared To Peace Of Soul?

If I Want Only Pure Water, What Does It Matter To Me Whether It Be Brought In A Vase Of Gold Or Of Glass? What Is It To Me Whether The Will Of God Be Presented To Me In Tribulation Or Consolation, Since I Desire And Seek Only The Divine Will?

Consider All The Past As Nothing, And Say, Like David: Now I Begin To Love My God.

Doing Little Things With A Strong Desire To Please God Makes Them Really Great.

Go To Your Confessor; Open Your Heart To Him; Display To Him All The Recesses Of Your Soul; Take The Advice That He Will Give You With The Utmost Humility And Simplicity. For God, Who Has An Infinite Love For Obedience, Frequently Renders Profitable The Counsels We Take From Others, But Especially From Those Who Are The Guides Of Our Souls.
