Calmly Resigning

"The subjection of the will is accomplished by calmly resigning thyself in everything that internally or externally vexes thee; for it is thus only that the soul is prepared for the reception of divine influences.  Prepare the heart like clean paper, and the Divine Wisdom will imprint on it characters to his own liking. ~M. DeMolinos

"If thou bear the cross cheerfully, it will bear thee."
~Thomas a Kempis

"Give me the love that leads the way, the faith that nothing can dismay, the hope no disappointments tire, the passion that will burn like fire; Let me not sink to be a clod; Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God." ~Amy Carmichael
