Opportunity Rings
"Opportunities are offered hourly for us to perform with great love seemingly unimportant works. Gentleness and patience toward others, overcoming our own moods and inclinations, acknowledging within ourselves our own imperfections, and persevering effort to keep ourselves tranquil and at peace: this faithfulness is greater than we can imagine."
Sister Joanne Marie Wenzel VHM, In the Midst of the World, Brooklyn Visitation Monastery, 1985, p. 9
