God Is Present Everywhere, And Every Person

The Merit Of The Cross Does Not Consist In Its Heaviness, But In The Manner In Which We Carry It. I Would Even Say That It Is Sometimes More Virtuous To Carry A Cross Of Straw Than A Heavy Cross Because We Have To Be More Attentive For Fear Of Losing It.

We Do Not Very Often Come Across Opportunities For Exercising Strength, Magnanimity, Or Magnificence; But Gentleness, Temperance, Modesty, And Humility, Are Graces Which Ought To Colour Everything We Do. There May Be Virtues Of A More Exalted Mould, But... These Are The Most Continually Called For In Daily Life.

People Can Pass Thirty Nights In Dancing And No One Complains About It, But If They Watch Through A Single Christmas Night They Cough And Claim Their Stomach Is Upset The Next Morning. Does Anyone Fail To See That The World Is An Unjust Judge, Gracious And Well Disposed To Its Own Children But Harsh And Rigorous Towards The Children Of God?

We Shall Steer Safely Through Every Storm, So Long As Our Heart Is Right, Our Intention Fervent, Our Courage Steadfast, And Our Trust Fixed On God. If At Times We Are Somewhat Stunned By The Tempest, Never Fear. Let Us Take Breath, And Go On Afresh.

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