Do everything for Love. Thus there will be no little things: everything will be big. Perseverance in little things for Love is heroism.
The Way, 813
Because you have been In pauca fidelis, faithful in small things, come and join in your Master’s happiness. The words are Christ’s. In pauca fidelis!...Now will you neglect little things, if heaven itself is promised to those who mind them?
The Way, 819
Have you seen how that imposing building was built? One brick upon another. Thousands. But, one by one. And bags of cement, one by one. And blocks of stone, each of them insignificant compared with the massive whole. And beams of steel. And men working, the same hours, day after day...
Have you seen how that imposing building was built?... By dint of little things!
The Way, 823
Didn’t you see the light in Jesus’ eyes as the poor widow left her little alms in the temple? Give him what you can: the merit is not in whether it is big or small, but in the intention with which you give it.
The Way, 829
Furrow, 487
Great souls pay much attention to little things.
The Way, 818
We need to smooth off the rough edges a little more each day – just as if we were working in stone or wood – and get rid of the defects in our own lives with a spirit of penance. And with small mortifications, which are of two types: active mortifications – the ones we ourselves look for, like little flowers we gather up during the course of the day – and passive mortifications, which come from outside and we find difficult to accept. Jesus Christ will later make up for whatever is still lacking.
The Forge, 403
A person in love doesn’t miss the tiniest detail. I have seen it in so many souls. Those little things become something very great: Love!
The Forge, 443
You cannot behave like a naughty child, or like a madman. You have to be strong, a child of God. You have to be calm in your professional work and in your dealings with others, with a presence of God which makes you give perfect attention to even the smallest details.
The Forge, 501
