A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.

we can learn to love the unloved, the unwanted; not only just to give them things but to make them feel that they, too, are useful, that they, too, can do something because they feel they are loved and wanted, that they can share the joy of loving.

La tristeza, el abatimiento, la morosidad abren las puertas a la pereza, madre de todos los males. 101
