God desires rather to see in us the least degree of purity of conscience than all the works we could do. He desires of us the least degree of obedience more than all the services we might think to render Him. He esteems our acceptance of aridity and of suffering for love of Him more than all the spiritual consolations we could have.
Saint John of the Cross

    Why is it so easy to confuse doing with being? I seem to do it constantly.
