Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient, in everything, to reach the end without delay; we should like to skip the intermediate stages
We are impatient of being on the way to something
Unknown, and something new. And yet it is the law of all progress, that it is made by passing through
Some stages of instability, and that it may take a very long time
And so I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually, let them grow, let them shape themselves without undue haste
Don't try to force them on as though you could be today what time will make of you tomorrow
Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give our Lord the benefit of believing, that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.
