The little thing…
In the mercy of God, the little thing done with humility will enable us to be found in the same place as the saints who have labored much and been true servants of God.
–Saint Dorotheus of Gaza (Sixth Century)
Miss no opportunity…
Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest thing right and doing it all for love…Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Continual practice…
To take up the cross of Christ is no great action done once for all; it consists in the continual practice of small duties which are distasteful to us.
–Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
We cultivate for Christ…
We cultivate a very small field for Christ, but we love it, knowing that God does not require great achievements but a heart that holds back nothing for self.
–Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne (1769-1852)
The smallest things…
The smallest things become great when God requires them of us; they are small only in themselves; they are always great when they are done for God, and when they serve to unite us with Him eternally.
–François Fénelon (1651-1715)
Great things…
It is not necessary to have great things to do. I turn my little omelet in the pan for the love of God.
–Brother Lawrence (1614-1691)
