“And here is the passive way – to be filled unto the fullness of God.
The passive way – I abandon myself to it, not in a multiplicity of trials,
extraordinary penances accomplished, practices of great works –
but in peaceful abandonment to the tenderness of Jesus,
which I must try to imitate, and by being in constant union
with His meek and humble heart." - St Katharine Drexel
