You give these priority in your life over all the superficial things that customarily clutter human lives. (Peace Pilgrim, `Peace Pilgrim')We must not grow weary of doing little things for the love of God, who looks not on the great size of the work, but on the love in it. We must not be surprised at failing frequently in the beginning; in the end, we will have developed the habit that enable us to produce these acts of love without thinking about them, deriving a great deal of pleasure from them.(Bro. Lawrence, `The Practice of the Presence of God') This proves…that the most trivial work, the least action when inspired by love, is often of greater merit than the most outstanding achievement. It is not on their face value that God judges our deeds, even when they bear the stamp of apparent holiness, but solely on the measure of love we put into them.(St. Therese of Lisieux, `My Sister Therese') -- " Let Noble thoughts come to us from every side " . - RigVeda (1-89-i) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
