Catholic Wisdom

"To be a good servant of God is to be charitable to our neighbour, maintaining in the superior will an invincible resolution to do God’s will: to possess great humility and simplicity in confiding one’s self to God; to rise as frequently as one falls; to toughen one’s self to humiliations, and to tranquilly bear with others and their defects."

—Saint Francis de Sales, Maxims and Counsels for Every Day, 68.
