I am just discovering Elisabeth Leseur, the French woman whose goodness converted her husband from atheism to priesthood.  He read her journals after her death from cancer at the age of 47.  Some excerpts from her collection of  “Daily Thoughts”:

Not to be understood is a sharp suffering.  To know that God understands is a sharper joy than any suffering.

Little duties, little efforts, the better for being seen by no one, except by Him in whose eyes nothing is little.

We should not scrutinize ourselves too closely while we are living, but try to live simply, bravely, and joyously beneath the gaze of God and for Him.
