“God does not measure human actions by a standard which stops at the appearances of ‘how much’ is given. God measures according to the standard of the interior values of ‘how’ one places oneself at the disposal of one’s neighbour: He measures according to the degree of love with which one freely dedicates oneself to the service of the brethren.[722]”
― Francis Fernandez, In Conversation with God – Volume 5 Part 2: Ordinary Time Weeks 29-34

“God detests failings because they are failings. On the other hand, however, in a certain sense He loves failings since they give to him an opportunity to show his mercy, and to us an opportunity to remain humble and to understand and to sympathize with our neighbour’s failings.[739]”
― Francis Fernandez, In Conversation with God – Volume 5 Part 2: Ordinary Time Weeks 29-34

“We should understand that God is very interested in our response to his grace and his friendship. He is moved by the sacrifices we make in order to visit him in the Blessed Sacrament every day. He is pleased by our sincere effort to grow in friendship with him. He follows our struggle to be charitable towards others, to serve him in the middle of the world ... He is very proud of our performance!”

“Life presents us with all manner of problems and trials. Some are great and many are of little consequence. With the help of God’s grace the soul can be strengthened by every trial.”
