Don't forget to rejoice!

Self-knowledge
It's good that you get to know yourself.
But don't forget that your misery doesn’t excite the Lord so much.
He invited you as a miserable one.
He is excited and eagerly waits
for you to rejoice in his invitation. That’s what he waits for!
For your joyful, believing love.
Don’t forget to rejoice!
What you don’t do today, you won’t do ever again!
“Whoever is faithful in small things,
is also faithful in great things.”

(P. Benedikt Holota OFM /* 1922/,
notes from conversations with P. J. E. Urban OFM, November 1978)
