Sometimes we are unduly excited when things go well, and at other times we are too alarmed when things go badly. . . We ought to establish our hearts firmly in God’s strength, and struggle, as best we can, to place all of our hope and confidence in the Lord so that we shall be like him, as far as it is possible, even in his unchanging rest and stability.
–Blessed Jordan of Saxony (c. 1190-1237)
