St. Francis de Sales says . . .

As I was cruising the blogrings during my afternoon rehearsal break, I wandered across these in the Sober Sophomore's blog. I think they are timely.

Go courageously to do whatever you are called to do. If you have any fears, say to your soul: “The Lord will provide for us.” If your weakness troubles you,cast yourselves on God, and trust in him. The apostles were mostly unlearned fishermen, but God gave them learning enough for the work they had to do. Trust in him, depend on his providence; fear nothing.
~St. Francis de Sales


Even though everything turns and changes around us, we must ever remain steady-always looking, striving, and aspiring toward God. No matter what course the ship takes, no matter whether it sails to the east, west, north, or south, no matter what winds drive it on,the mariner's needle never points in any direction except toward the polar star.
~St. Francis de Sales
