“We can ‘work for Him’ that is, we can choose what we want to give Him, what we want Him to like, what we think He needs and desires from us. Or we “do His work”, meaning, we can ask Him what He would like and do what He desires. ‘Do His work’, no matter how repugnant it may be to us.” Fr. Thomas Green – Darkness in the Marketplace.
“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”

“Every conquering temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.” William Butler Yeats

“There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth.” GK Chesterton
