St. Therese of Lisieux: “True Charity consists in bearing with all the defects of our neighbor. A word, a kindly smile, will often suffice to gladden a wounded and sorrowful heart.”
3. Will of God
John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. He who lives in me and I in him, will produce abundantly, for apart from me you can do nothing.”

7. Humility
Luke 14:11 “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
St. John Vianney: “Humility is to the various virtues what the chain is to the Rosary. Take away the chain and all the beads are scattered, remove Humility and the virtues vanish.”
8. Worry
Luke 12:25 “Which of you by worrying can add a moment to your lifespan?”
St. Theresa of Avila: “Let nothing disturb you; let nothing frighten you. All things pass away, he who has God lacks nothing.”
