Be Who You Are And Be That

Do Not Be Ashamed Of Being Poor, Or Of Asking Alms. Receive What Is Given You With Humility, And Accept A Refusal Meekly. Frequently Call To Mind Our Lady's Journey Into Egypt With Her Holy Child, And Of All The Poverty, Contempt And Suffering They Endured. If You Follow Their Example You Will Indeed Be Rich Amid Your Poverty.

Doing Little Things With A Strong Desire To Please God Makes Them Really Great.

God Requires A Faithful Fulfillment Of The Merest Trifle Given Us To Do, Rather Than The Most Ardent Aspiration To Things To Which We Are Not Called.

Friendship Requires Great Communication.

All True And Living Devotion Presupposes The Love Of God And Indeed It Is Neither More Nor Less Than A Very Real Love Of God, Though Not Always Of The Same Kind; For That Love One While Shining On The Soul We Call Grace, Which Makes Us Acceptable To His Divine Majesty; When It Strengthens Us To Do Well, It Is Called Charity; But When It Attains Its Fullest Perfection, In Which It Not Only Leads Us To Do Well, But To Act Carefully, Diligently, And Promptly, Then It Is Called Devotion.
