From My Life's Work by Cardinal Newman God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which 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 shall do good. I shall do His work if I do but keep His commandments and serve Him in my calling. Therefore I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am. I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him, if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain. ↗

Смирението не значи да си малодушен и бездеен. То не води нито до фатализъм, нито до капитулация. Точно обратното. В смирението е заложена сила – сила, извираща отвътре. Който се подчини смирено на божественото естество на живота, ще пребъде в невъзмутимо спокойствие и мир, дори когато целият широк свят е хвърлен в смут. ↗

I believe that in each generation God has called enough men and women to evangelize all the yet unreached tribes of the earth. It is not God who does not call. It is man who will not respond! ↗

Submissive men, men who desire to serve as consensual slaves, are on one of the most difficult journeys in the world today, because they have rejected patriarchal privilege and embraced their own heart's calling instead. ↗

Bootie Grant Glover! You do amaze me!" Mem stared at her sister. "Do I understand this? You're giving me permission to engage in a romantic tryst?" "Certainly not!" Bootie pulled to her full diminished height. "I'm merely saying if disaster strikes, I won't abandon you. ↗

We should never wait for science to give us permission to do the uncommon; if we do, then we are turning science into another religion. ↗

In the dust of defeat as well as the laurels of victory there is a glory to be found if one has done his best. ↗

The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become. ↗

God is pursuing with omnipotent passion a worldwide purpose of gathering joyful worshipers for Himself from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. He has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the nations. Therefore, let us bring our affections into line with His, and, for the sake of His name, let us renounce the quest for worldly comforts and join His global purpose. ↗
