If we have through our own fault stopped the flow of divine favors, let us at once remove the cause of the evil.  If our conscience can find nothing to reproach us with, let us adore with humble confidence the holy will of God.  And while awaiting the moment of His providence, let us endeavor with redoubled zeal to sanctify the trial and to prepare ourselves for new graces.  So long as we are faithful to the practice, our state of prayer may indeed spear at a standstill; but in reality our faith is growing more luminous and all the virtues are gathering strength, particularly love, confidence, and abandonment.  –Abbot Vitalis Lehodey ‘Holy Abandonment’
