A quote shared by Jenny of The Littlest Way in a recent post on blogging:

It is a rouse of the devil by which he deceives good people, to induce them to do more that they are able, so that they end up not being able to do anything.  The Spirit of God urges one gently to do the good that can be done reasonable, so that it may be done perseveringly and for a long time.
–St Vincent de Paul

Hope you and your families have a blessed and restorative week!
