“When we are in darkness, in dryness, there is no wood within our reach, but surely we are obliged at least to throw little bits of straw on the fire. Jesus is quite powerful enough to keep the fire going by Himself, yet He is glad when we add a little fuel; it is a delicate attention which gives Him pleasure, and then He throws a great deal of wood on the fire.”

-Fr. Joseph M. Esper, Saintly Solutions
