Remember we are all but travelers here.
Whatever troubles may be before you, accept them bravely, remembering Whom you are trying to follow. Do not be afraid. Love one another, bear with one another, and let charity guide you all your life. God will reward you as only He can.
Find happiness in making others happy.
We must teach more by example than by word.
Believe in the whisperings of God to your own heart.
Be eager in your desires but humbly patient in their accomplishment.
