Nothing Appeases An Enraged Elephant So Much

There Are Many Who Say To The Lord, "i Give Myself Wholly To Thee, Without Any Reserve," But There Are Few Who Embrace The Practice Of This Abandonment, Which Consists In Receiving With A Certain Indifference Every Sort Of Event, As It Happens In Conformity With Divine Providence, As Well Afflictions As Consolations, Contempt And Reproaches As Honor And Glory.

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.

Don't Get Upset With Your Imperfections. Surrender To The Power Of God's Love, Which Is Greater Than Our Weakness.

He Who Complains, Sins.

Provided That God Be Glorified, We Must Not Care By Whom.
