DETACHMENT
If the impossible were possible and that God Himself did not see my good actions, I would not grieve about it. I love Him so much that I should like to be able to give Him pleasure without His knowing that it was I. . . . Knowing and seeing it, He is, in a way, bound to repay me. . . . I would not give Him the trouble.
COUNSELS AND REMINISCENCES
The glory of Jesus . . . that is my
whole ambition; my own I abandon to
Him; and if He seem to forget me, well,
He is at liberty to do so since I am mine
no more, but His. He will more quickly
tire of making me wait, than I, of waiting!
