“God is present in moments of rest
and can give us in a single instant exactly what we need. Then the rest of the
day can take its course, under the same effort and strain, perhaps, but in
peace. And when night comes, and you look back over the day and see how
fragmentary everything has been, and how much you planned that has gone undone,
and all the reasons you have to be embarrassed and ashamed: just take everything
exactly as it is, put it in God's hands, and leave it with God. Then you will
be able to rest in God—really rest—and start the next day as a new life.” ~St.
Teresa of the Cross (Edith Stein)
