"God is there in these moments of rest and can give us, in a single instant, exactly what we need. Then the rest of the day can take its course, under the same effort and strain, perhaps, but in peace. And when night comes and you look back over the day and see how fragmentary everything has been and how much you planned that has gone undone and all the reasons you have, to be embarrassed and ashamed: just take everything, exactly as it is, put it in God's hands and leave it with Him. Then you will be able to rest in Him - really rest - and start the next day, as a new life." - Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)
