Don't Look for Human Approbation

Don't expect people's applause for your work.  What is more, sometimes you must not even expect other people and institutions, who like you are working for Christ, to understand you.  Seek only the glory of God, and while loving everyone, don't worry if there are some who do not comprehend what it is you are doing. 

(Father Francis Fernandez)

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) There are some who wish to be humble, but without being despised, who wish to be happy with their lot, but without being needy, who wish to be chaste, without mortifying the body, to be patient without suffering.  They want both to acquire virtues and to avoid the sacrifices those virtues involve; they are like soldiers who flee the battlefield and try to win the war from the comfort of the city. - St. Gregory the Great
