List of points

Practise the virtue of hope and, with God as your motive, even when you find it hard, persevere at your work and try to finish it well, convinced that those efforts of yours are not useless in the Lord’s sight.

The best spirit of sacrifice is to persevere in the work begun: when it is exciting and when it proves an uphill struggle.

Work with cheerfulness, with peace, with presence of God.

—In this way you will also do your task with common sense. You will carry it through to the end. Though tiredness is beating you down, you will finish it off well; and your works will be pleasing to God.

You should maintain throughout the day a constant conversation with Our Lord, a conversation fed even by the things that happen in your professional work.

Go in spirit to the Tabernacle… and offer to God the work that is in your hands.
