True love grows by sacrifice and the more thoroughly the soul rejects natural satisfaction the stronger and more detached its tenderness becomes. Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love. Jesus makes the bitterest mouthful taste sweet. Trying to do good to people without God's help is no easier than making the sun shine at midnight. You discover that you've got to abandon all your own preferences, your own bright ideas, and guide souls along the road our Lord has marked out for them. You mustn't coerce them into some path of your own choosing. The country in which I live is not my native country, that lies elsewhere, and it must always be the center of my longings. The great majority of men use their own short-sighted ideas as a yardstick for measuring the divine omnipotence. I am not afraid of a fight; I have to do my duty, come what may. Untilled ground, however rich, will bring forth thistles and thorns; so also the mind of man. |
