"I am going to reveal to you the secret of sanctity and happiness.  Everyday for five minutes control your imagination and close your ears to all the noises of the world, in order to speak to that Divine Spirit, saying to Him:"

"If you do this your life will flow along happily and serenely and full of consolation, even in the midst of trials.  Grace will be proportioned to the trial, and you will arrive at the gate of merit.  This submission to the Holy Spirit is the secret of sanctity."

-- Cardinal Mercier
