Nothing Is So Strong As Gentleness, Nothing

Don't Get Upset With Your Imperfections. It's A Great Mistake Because It Leads Nowhere - To Get Angry Because You Are Angry, Upset At Being Upset, Depressed At Being Depressed, Disappointed Because You Are Disappointed. So Don't Fool Yourself. Simply Surrender To The Power Of God's Love, Which Is Always Greater Than Our Weakness.

Do Not Scrutinize So Closely Whether You Are Doing Much Or Little, Ill Or Well, So Long As What You Do Is Not Sinful And That You Are Heartily Seeking To Do Everything For God. Try As Far As You Can To Do Everything Well, But When It Is Done, Do Not Think About It. Try, Rather, To Think Of What Is To Be Done Next. Go On Simply In The Lord's Way, And Do Not Torment Yourself. We Ought To Hate Our Faults, But With A Quiet, Calm Hatred; Not Pettishly And Anxiously.

Since God Often Sends Us Inspirations By Means Of His Angels, We Should Frequently Return Our Aspirations To Him By Means Of The Same Messengers.
