Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
~ Saint Augustine
“Do not be afraid! Open the doors to Christ. God works in the concrete and personal affairs of each one of us. Don’t let the time that the Lord gives you run on as if everything is due to chance. With this expression of my hope I send you all, from the depth of my heart, my blessing.” ~ Saint Pope John Paul II
