BUT if in parallel to Thine My will doth meekly run, All things in heaven and earth are mine, My will is crossed by none; Thou art in me, And I in Thee,-- Thy will--and mine--are done! W. M. L. JAY
SUFFERINGS arising from anxiety, in which the soul adds, to the cross imposed by the hand of God, an agitated resistance, and a sort of unwillingness to suffer,--such troubles arise only because we live to ourselves. A cross wholly inflicted by God, and fully accepted without any uneasy hesitation, is full of peace as well as of pain. On the contrary, a cross not fully and simply accepted, but resisted by the love of self, even slightly, is a double cross; it is even more a cross, owing to this useless resistance, than through the pain it necessarily entails. FRANCOIS DE LA MOTHE F�NELON
The basis of all peace of mind, and what must be obtained before we get that peace, is a cessation of the conflict of two wills-His and ours. CHARLES G. GORDON
