"[T]he will of God is now manifesting itself in those circumstances which are the duty of the present moment. . . . It is the fulfilling of this duty, no matter in what guise it presents itself, which does most to make one holy. . . . For example, if it is God's will that the present moment should be spent in reading, then reading will exert a mystical power in the depths of the soul . . .". de Caussade, Abandonment.
