Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire!

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The ones who become discouraged are not those who undergo difficulties and feel pain.   It is those, rather, who do not aspire to sanctity and eternal life, those who despair of ever reaching them, who buckle and give up.   The attitude of the former is shaped by a lack of faith, by comfort-seeking, lukewarmness and an excessive attachment to earthly goods, which they consider to be the only good things worth having. Discouragement, if it is not remedied, paralyzes any effort to do good and overcome difficulties.  (Father Francis Fernandez from In Conversation With God(1:21.1 )

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) 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)
