Let us do only what we can
19 August 2016
For the feast of Saint John Eudes:
It is never detrimental to the spiritual progress of a Community when one does not do what God does not want him to do. Now God does not desire anyone to observe rules when he cannot do so because of illness or some other infirmity. We should not wish to do more than what God desires. Let us do only what we can, dearest brother, without becoming troubled or worried, submitting ourselves with peace and tranquility to the commands of His most adorable will. (Saint Jean Eudes to a Superior, Letter 233)
