The hour in our life in which we are best employed is the hour in which we best love Jesus. A soul does good to others not in the measure of its knowledge or intelligence but in that of its holiness. For me, all men should be enveloped, in God's sight, in the same love and the same indifference. I must no more trouble about health or life than a tree troubles about a falling leaf. I must remember only Jesus, think only of Jesus, estimating as a gain any loss at the price of which I have more room in myself for thought and knowledge of Jesus, beside whom everything is nothing. I must reserve all my strength for Jesus. -from MEDITATIONS OF A HERMIT by Charles de Foucauld
