‘Constant discipline in unnoticed ways, and the hidden spirit’s silent unselfishness, becoming the hidden habit of the life, give to it its true saintly beauty, and this is the result of care and lowly love in little things. Perfection is
attained1 most readily by this constancy of religious faithfulness in all
minor2 details of life, in the lines of duty which fill up what
remains3 to complete the
likeness4 to our Lord,
consecrating5 the daily efforts of self-forgetting love.’—T. T. Carter.
