“Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
—Saint Francis of Assisi

“I don't try to make sense of suffering. I try to make sense of life...I try each day to see God's will...I console myself with the old Negro spiritual, 'Sooner will be done the troubles of this world. I'm going home to live with God.”
—Sr. Thea Bowman

St. Francis' feast day is October 4.
