Actions of a simple and common life

Let us give ourselves to God without any reserve,
and let us fear nothing. He will love us, and we
shall love Him. His love, increasing every day,
will take the place of everything else to us. He
will fill our whole hearts; He will deprive us
only of those things that make us unhappy. He will
cause us to do in general, what we have been doing
already, but which we have done in an unsatisfactory
manner; whereas, hereafter, we shall do them well,
because they will be done for His sake. Even the
smallest actions of a simple and common life will
be turned to consolation and recompense. We shall
meet the approach of death in peace; it will be
changed for us into the beginning of the immortal life.
- Francois Fenelon
