“ Untilled ground however rich will bring forth thistles and thorns so also the mind of man. ”
He does not call those who are worthy, but those whom He will.
~ Therese Of Lisieux
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.
