Peace & Calm
If any one strives to be delivered from his troubles out of love of God, he will strive patiently, gently, humbly and calmly, looking for deliverance rather to God’s Goodness and Providence than to his own industry or efforts.
This unresting anxiety is the greatest evil which can happen to the soul, sin only excepted.
Nothing so stills the elephant when enraged as the sight of a lamb; nor does anything break the force of a cannon ball so well as wool.
I recommend simplicity to you; look before you, and not at the dangers which you behold in the distance.
The greatest happiness of any one is to possess his soul.
Keep yourself faithfully in the presence of God; avoid hurry and anxiety, for there are no greater obstacles to our progress in perfection.
