Fidelity

 

 

We must be faithful both in great and little things:

 

Introduction to the Devout Life, 3:35. The Sacred Spouse in the Song of songs says that his Bride has delighted his heart with one of her eyes and with one of her hairs (4:9). Among all the external parts of the human body there is nothing more noble either for its versatility or for activity as the eye and nothing more lowly than the hair.

 

Do faithfully all the things you have to do

 

Letter to Madame de la Flechere. You need patience, and God will give it to you, I’m sure, if you earnestly ask Him for it and if you strive to practise it faithfully.

 

Letter to a Wife and Mother, 4: There are two things we should combine: a genuine attempt at exact observance of all the practices of the spiritual life and an effort to remain unruffled by our occasional lapses.
