Principles and Practices - October 8

Splendid Chances Really

Are you not foolish in wishing to be free from these attacks of impatience, etc.? I know how violent they can be, since they sweep down on me at all hours without any provoca­tion. You forget the many victories they furnish you with, the hours, perhaps of hard fighting, and only fix your eyes on the little tiny word of anger, or the small fault, which is gone with one "Jesus, forgive me."

-Doyle, S.J.
