"We ought to become holy in the state in which Providence has placed us, instead of making projects of goodness in the future; and we need the greatest faithfulness to God in the smallest things. That state of life to which God has called us is safe for us, if we fulfill all our duties there in.... Let us do what we know He requires of us, and, as soon as we know His will, let us not spare ourselves, but be very faithful to Him....The smallest things become great when God requires them of us; they are small only in themselves; they are always great when they are done for God, and when they serve to unite us with Him eternally."
(By Francois De Salignac De La Mothe Fenelon- 1700s) Taken from the book "Joy and Strength"
