He requires no great matters of us; a little

remembrance of Him from time to time, a little adoration: sometimes to

pray for His grace, sometimes to offer Him your sufferings, and

sometimes to return Him thanks for the favours He has given you, and

still gives you, in the midst of your troubles, and to console yourself

with Him the oftenest you can. Lift up your heart to Him, sometimes

even at your meals, and when you are in company: the least little

remembrance will always be acceptable to Him. You need not cry very

loud; He is nearer to us than we are aware of.
