And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming.

—1 John 2:28 (NRSV)

“Some work hard, yet make no progress. Others seek profit in what is not profitable. Still others are disturbed and make no progress precisely because of the favors that God grants so that they may make progress. Yet there are others who make great progress by remaining at rest and in quietness. There are many other things on this road that come to those who follow it—joys and afflictions and hopes and grief. Some come from the spirit of perfection and others from imperfection.” —St. John of the Cross

Show me, Christ, how to make progress in the spiritual life, today.
