I often think if I simply had the will and grace I could be a saint today. But instead I fall back from hard things.

So, I think I must pray the more fervently to do hardest things.

The Saint has an urgency in her words. And how true! A lifetime is so short, just flies by. You reach the end of your life and look back, and what do you have to show in return for all the graces showered and all the chances given? I pray I am more faithful from now on and respond to these graces.
