In the exercise of faith and love, I endured and performed whatever came in God's providence, in submission, in thankfulness, and silence. - [Resignation] O my God, how true it is that we may have of Thy gifts and yet may be full of ourselves! - [Selfishness] Our activity should consist in placing ourselves in a state of susceptibility to Divine impressions, and pliability to all the operations of the Eternal Word. - [Devout] The soul seeks God by faith, not by the reasonings of the mind and labored efforts, but by the drawings of love; to which inclinations God responds, and instructs the soul, which co-operates actively.
