The same God who made us desire virtues in our beginning, and who makes us practise them on all occurrences, he it is who takes from us the affection to virtues and all spiritual exercises, that with more tranquillity, purity, and simplicity, we should care for nothing but the divine Majesty’s good pleasure.
Saint Francis de Sales
