Cheerfulness
It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.
Guidance
It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.
Jesus Christ
Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.
Wisdom
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
