The following is an excerpt from Volume 7 of Directions for Our Time.
St. Damien of Molokai
When your work is successful, praise God. When your work fails, praise God. When the sun shines, praise God. When the rain falls, praise God. Do you get the idea? You serve him and he will do great things through you. These great things have nothing to do with you except that you allowed Heaven to use you as an instrument. Your merit in Heaven will not depend on the greatness of your mission or the greatness of what Christ accomplished through you. Your merit will reflect the work you did in your soul, the surrender of your ego, the honing of the virtues, the self-denial, and the love that you allowed to flow through you to others.
