Dear Eusebius,
"Well, you are wondering about your future. Pray simply, humbly, and fervently to know God's will, and your path will be made clear. Then you must follow the inspiration divine Mercy puts into your heart.....Now I want you to say to yourself: 'I am, above all, a man, a rational being, created to know, love, serve and glorify God. I come from God. I go to God. I belong to God. My body is His. My mind is His. My heart is His. I shall be judged according to my deeds, according to the way I have corresponded with the grace given to me. Well then, by God's help, I shall use this body, this mind and this heart as much as I possibly can for His greater glory, honor, and love.' Life well employed consists in this: a faithful correspondence to grace and a good use of the talents we have been given. This rule of life applies equally to all." (from St. Theophane Venard)
