Let your highest ambition be to become what God has planned for you. Lay all your plans at his feet. Let God's will be your will, and he will lead you to just that life which will be for you the most beautiful, the most honourable, and the most blessed. If you would have God's thoughts to live out in your life, you must go to God for them. You must sit down often with him in the silence. You must look reverently into the divine Word and ponder deeply its holy sentences. You must turn your steps habitually to the place of prayer. You will not have heavenly visions if you never look upward for them.
