Always be faithful in little things, for in them our strength lies. To God nothing is little. He cannot make anything small; they are infinite. Practice fidelity in the least things, not for their own sake, but for the sake of the great thing that is the will of God, and which I respect greatly.
Do not pursue spectacular deeds. We must deliberately renounce all desires to see the fruit of our labor, doing all we can as best we can, leaving the rest in the hands of God. What matters is the gift of your self, the degree of love that you put into each one of your actions.
Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best. Neither glory in your success, but refer all to God in deepest thankfulness.
If you are discouraged, it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own powers. Never bother about people's opinions. Be humble and you will never be disturbed. The Lord has willed me here where I am. He will offer a solution."

'never bother about people's opinions' now that a hard one!
she was a wise one, wasn't she!
Hey kathy, I hope you read my AA story on my blog, it wasnt until I discovered God that life became infinately richer for me, just think I used to think my life was pointless
That is why she is a saint. What faith and love and charity she had.
Hmm. I don't get discouraged often, but I think I do have a little bit of a pride problem. Or maybe not. Maybe I have faith and didn't even realize it.
I'm glad you posted this.
Thanks for sharing these. I LOVE Mother T
