"Look often to Our Lord, Who watches over you, poor little creature that you are, and sees you surrounded by labors and distractions. He is sending you help and is blessing your affliction. With this in mind, you should patiently and meekly bear annoyances for the love of Him who permits them only for your benefit. Lift your heart to God, call upon His aid, and make your chief consolation be the happiness of belonging to Him. All of the causes of your displeasure will seem slight when you know that you have such a Friend, so great a support, and so excellent a refuge."
