Stand Firm And Immovable As An Anvil

Teach Us, Good Lord, To Give And Not Count The Cost; To Fight And Not To Heed The Wounds; To Toil And Not To Seek For Rest; To Labor And Not To Ask For Any Reward Save That Of Knowing That We Do Thy Will.

To Withdraw From Creatures And Repose With Jesus In The Tabernacle Is My Delight; There I Can Hide Myself And Seek Rest. There I Find A Life Which I Cannot Describe, A Joy Which I Cannot Make Others Comprehend, A Peace Such As Is Found Only Under The Hospitable Roof Of Our Best Friend.

Spiritual Exercises Whereby To Conquer Oneself, And Order One's Life, Without Being Influenced In One's Decision By Any Inordinate Affection.

The Principal End Both Of My Father And Of Myself In The Conquest Of India... Has Been The Propagation Of The Holy Catholic Faith.

There Is No Doubt That God Will Never Be Wanting To Us, Provided That He Finds In Us That Humility Which Makes Us Worthy Of His Gifts, The Desire Of Possessing Them, And The Promptitude To Co-operate Industriously With The Graces He Gives Us.
