Let us serve God in the sunshine, while He makes the sun to shine. We shall then serve Him all the better in the dark, when He sends the darkness. It is sure to come. Only let our light be God's light, and our darkness God's darkness, and we shall be safe at home when the great nightfall comes.

Beyond the Stars
No man or woman that believes in the Open Door beyond the stars has any right or reason to be discouraged. No matter what it may cost you, do what is right, and God will see you through.

The best perfection is the performance of common things in a perfect manner. A constant fidelity in little things is a great and heroic virtue.
