Life

LIFE is to live
And life is to give
And talents are to use
For good if you choose.
Do not pray for easy lives.
Pray to be stronger.
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Then the doing of your work
Shall be no miracle
But you shall be a miracle.
Every day you shall wonder at yourself.
At the richness of life
Which has come to you by the grace of God.
But everyone needs someone.
Knowing that somewhere someone is thinking of you.

~~Fr. Solanus Casey
