The holy example of St. Remigius led this saint to leave the court of France and become a missionary. He spent much of his time in inducing prisoners to accept their imprisonment in the spirit of penance.

  Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased Father to give you a kingdom. Sell what you possess, and, and give alms. –Gospel: Luke xii.

  Spiritual consolations, indeed, exceed all the delights of the world and pleasures of the flesh. –Imitation: Book II.

  Ideal: A splendid example of a man who believed in making the best of things. He saw the fine example of another man who was making a saint of himself, and set out to the same. That is seizing an opportunity; that is what you are being asked to do every week or so.

  Today: Do you like the weather today, or the length of the lessons you are getting or the kind of work you are asked to do at home, or the present hard times? Unless you can really change those things, make the best of them, and don’t complain. If you mind being caught in the rain without an umbrella, probably everybody who gets drenched feels the same, so –make the best of it.

  ~Slogan: It is better to be able to like what you have than to have what you like.
