Tiny details imperceptible to us decide everything!
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
All of us can attain to Christian virtue and holiness, no matter in what condition of life we live and no matter what our life work may be.
The merit of the cross does not consist in its heaviness, but in the manner in which we carry it. I would even say that it is sometimes more virtuous to carry a cross of straw than a heavy cross because we have to be more attentive for fear of losing it.

Don't get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is greater than our weakness.

See the hand that nursed the serpent. The fine hasped pipes of her fingerbones. The skin bewenned and speckled. The veins are milkblue and bulby. A thin gold ring set with diamonds. That raised the once child's heart of her to agonies of passion before I was. Here is the anguish of mortality. Hopes wrecked, love sundered. See the mother sorrowing. How everything that I was warned of's come to pass.

A secret needs two faces to bounce between; a secret needs to see itself in another pair of eyes.
The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation.
