The Sanctification of Our Actions.
“He hath done all things well.” — St. Matt. 7:37.
TWENTY-FOURTH DAY.
The works of God are almost always done little by little; they have their commencement and their progress. One must not pretend to do all in a moment, in haste, nor think all is lost if one does not become perfect at once. We must always advance, but without anxiety. Pray much and make use of the means suggested by the Holy Ghost, paying no attention to the false maxims of the world. — St. Vincent de Paul
This saint was very slow to decide upon any matter. Nevertheless, his slowness, which to some appeared excessive, never had any charge. Everyone was surprised to see that he succeeded in all he undertook. Still more, at the same time that everything prospered with him he acquired treasures of merit in heaven, because charity animated all that he did for his neighbor.
Prayer.
My God, make known to me what Thou wilt that I do, and give me the courage to do it well.
