Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.
Many who confess their venial sins out of custom and concern for order but without thought of amendment remain burdened with them for their whole life and thus lose many spiritual benefits and advantages.
Strive to see God in all things without exception. Do not smother yourself…If you start smothering yourself with a host of cares and longings and wishes … you will be disabling yourself from serving God with all your heart.
