"You are submerged by a flood of troubles that the size of your household places on your shoulders. You must, then, call upon Our Lord all the more and beg for His holy help, so that the work you must do will be agreeable to Him and so that you will embrace it for His honor and glory. Our days are few, and consequently our labor cannot be overlong. By means of a little patience, we will get through it with honor and contentment, for we have no greater consolation at the end of the day than to have worked hard and shouldered its pains."

~ St. Francis de Sales

Whatever troubles are submerging us, let call upon God, and be consoled at the end of the day to have worked hard, and shouldered our crosses bravely.
