Some good advice from St. Francis de Sales!
Strive to see God in all things without exception, and-acquiesce in His will with absolute submission. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to Him by a mere upward glance, or by the overflowing of your heart towards Him. Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. Commend all to God, and then lie still and be at rest in His bosom. Whatever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God, trusting to His eternal love for you; and if you find that you have wandered forth from this shelter, recall your heart quietly and simply. Maintain a holy simplicity of mind, and do not smother yourself with a host of cares, wishes, or longings, under any pretext.
—St. Francis de Sales
Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. Strive to see God in all! Love everyone! Do not hate, do not sin, do not be indifferent! We see a world so upside down today, so many lack God. They do not know Jesus. God gave Him to us to follow, reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! Yes, commend all to God, and then lie still and be at rest in His bosom! We really need to maintain a holy simplicity of mind, and do not smother yourself with a host of cares, wishes, or longings, under any pretext. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and Heaven spending life eternal there. This Earth School journey is just a test to pass, a test of love. Will you pass the test? Will you love like Jesus? Will you make Heaven your number one priority in life? Live for things of our real home in Heaven, not for things of this world? If you want real peace know Jesus!
