Filial Fidelity

"... Fulfill well the will of God in the cases in which you may have the most difficulty. It is a little thing to please God in what pleases us: filial fidelity requires that we will to please Him in what does not please us, putting before our eyes what the great well-beloved Son said of Himself: "I am not come to do my will, but the will of him that sent me," for you also are not a Christian to do your own will, but to do the will of Him Who has adopted you..."

"Let us pray God earnestly to give us grace so to live according to His pleasure in this pilgrimage, that arriving at our heavenly country, we may be able to rejoice at having seen one another here below, and to have spoken here of the mysteries of eternity."

"Keep that holy gaiety of heart which nourishes the strength of the soul and edifies our neighbour... And to God be ever praise, thanksgiving and benedictions. Amen."

- St. Francis De Sales
