(1881-1955)<br> Above all, trust in the slow work of God.<br> We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.<br> We should like to skip the intermediate stages.<br> We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.<br> Yet it is the law of all progress that is made by passing through<br> some stages of instability and that may take a very long time.<br> And so I think it is with you. Your ideas mature gradually.<br> Let them grow. Let them shape themselves without undue haste.<br> Do not try to force them on as though you could be today what time,<br> that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will,<br> will make you tomorrow.<br> Only God could say what this new Spirit gradually forming in you will be.<br> Give our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you,<br> and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.<br> Above all, trust in the slow work of God— our loving vine-dresser.<br> Amen.<br>
