Prayer: Georges Bernanos, “Diary of a Country Priest”

“Go on with your work,” he said. “Keep all the little daily things that need doing, till the rest comes. Concentrate. Think of a lad at his homework, trying so hard and his tongue sticking out. That's how our Lord would have us be when he gives us up to our own strength. Little things - they don't look like much, yet they bring peace. Like wildflowers which seem to have no scent, till you get a field full of ‘em. And he who prays for little things - is innocent.”
