A work done without a feeling of pleasure is more pleasing to God than many others done with great delight and feeling. Therefore, when you find yourself in a state of dryness and depression, be glad and exult that God has deigned to give you those greater gifts and sweetest viands that He is wont to offer to those who are dearer to Him and more beloved by Him.

It is better to labor and do things for one another than to have each one work for herself, because in doing things for ourselves, there us self love; and in doing things for others, there is charity.
