  6. What are you called to? “Make sure you let God’s grace work in your souls by accepting whatever he gives you, and giving him whatever he takes from you. True holiness consists in doing God’s will with a smile. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your own weakness.” (Mother Teresa of Calcutta).

  11. Called to love, Called to change God has created me to do him some definite service;He has committed some work to mewhich he has not committed to another.I have my mission – I may never know it in this life,but I shall be told it in the next.I have a part in this great work; I am a link in a chain,a bond of connection between persons.He has not created me for naught.I shall do good, I shall do his work;I shall be an angel of peace,a preacher of the truth in my own place,while not intending it,if I do but keep his commandmentsand serve him in my calling.Therefore I will trust him.Whatever, wherever I am,I can never be thrown away.I ask not to see,I ask not to know,I ask simply to be used. Blessed John Henry Newman
