February 15th
St Claude de la Colombiere (1641-1682), Confessor; Saint-Symphorien-d'Orzon, France

"After this let us suppose that you turn to God with blind trust and surrender yourself unconditionally and unreservedly to Him, entirely resolved to put aside your own hopes and fears; in short, determined to wish nothing except what He wishes and to wish all that He wishes.  From this moment you will acquire perfect liberty and will never again be able to feel troubled or uneasy, and there is no power on earth capable of doing you violence or giving you a moment's unrest."

St Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), Virgin, Doctor of the Church; Avila, Spain; Feast day October 15th

"We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can -- namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us."
