The best training is to learn to accept everything as it comes, as from Him whom our soul loves. The tests are always unexpected things, not great things that can be written up, but the common little rubs of life, silly little nothings, things you are ashamed of minding one scrap

If I am perturbed by the reproach and misunderstanding that may follow action taken for the good of souls for whom I must give account if I cannot commit the matter and go on in peace and in silence, remembering Gethsemane and the cross, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

I wish thy way. And when in me myself should rise, and long for something otherwise, Then Lord, take sword and spear And slay.
