Today's quote, from Gerald Vann's The Sorrow of Christ:
Holiness is not a question of what we feel: it is a question of what we will. Thy will be done. We say it so often: if we could say it without any reservations, wholeheartedly, then we should be saints. A saint can fear his destiny and want to escape it; he can pray to be released from it; he can be heartbroken because of it; but because he is a saint he puts all his fears and his prayers and his sorrows into God’s hands: not my will but thine be done.
