“When Mary holds you up, you will not fall; when she protects you, you need not fear; when she leads you, you will not tire yourself; when she is favorable to you, you will arrive at the harbor safely.” – St. Bernard

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)
