"Hold your eyes on God and leave the doing to Him.
That is all the doing you have to worry about."
St Jane de Chantal

"We should go to prayer with deep humility
and an awareness of our nothingness.
We must invoke the help of the Holy Spirit
and that of our good angel,
and then remain still in God's presence,
full of faith that He is more in us
than we are in ourselves."

but surrender to His holy Will is

far higher."- St Jane de Chantal

as a little drop of water into the sea,
