What is it to serve God and to do His will? Nothing else than to show mercy to our neighbor. For it is our own neighbor who needs our service; God in heaven needs it not.

They also serve who only stand and wait.

God has created me to do him some definite service; he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission-I never may know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.

They serve God well, who serve his creatures.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

I can more easily see our Lord sweeping the streets of London, than issuing edicts from its cathedral.

Joy can be real life only if people look upon their life as service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.

Small service is true service while it lasts; Of humblest friends, bright creature! scorn not one; The daisy, by the shadow that it casts, Protects the lingering dew-drop from the sun.
