“Oh, how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it. Oh, if only all could understand how precious time is, undoubtedly everyone would do his best to spend it in a praiseworthy manner!” (St. Padre Pio)
“Time is money”, and you need to do things and get things done. But you also need to be attentive to God’s time and God’s plans. “We must be ready to do in an instant just what we hadn’t expected, to live in total self-abandonment, with no other concern than doing God’s Will and being fully available to people and events. We also need to experience in prayer God’s presence within us and to listen inwardly to the Holy Spirit so as to follow his suggestions. Then nothing is left to chance. Often we may journey in darkness, but we sense that our lives are unfolding in a rhythm we do not control but to which we are happy to abandon ourselves by which all events are arranged with infinite wisdom.” (Jacques Philippe, Interior Freedom, p. 93)
