Our life — a Christian’s life — has to be as ordinary as this: trying every day to do well those very things it is our duty to do; carrying out our divine mission in the world by fulfilling the little duty of each moment.

—Or rather, struggling to fulfil it. Sometimes we don’t manage, and when night comes, in our examination, we’ll have to tell Our Lord, “I am not offering you virtues; today I can only offer you defects. But with your grace I will be able to count myself a victor.”

When the holy women reached the tomb, they found that the stone had been rolled aside.

This is what always happens! When we make up our minds to do what we should, the difficulties are easily overcome.

Sincere devotion, true love of God, leads us to work, to fulfil the duty of each day, even though it is far from easy.

When you fulfil your duties in a cheerful and generous way you obtain abundant grace from God for other souls also.
