“If I had chosen my own life’s work I would have selected a business where I could have stayed at home….No one can be happy outside the center of God’s will.  When I was a boy I used to wonder how missionaries who left their native land and went to far-away lands could be happy.  The happiest people I have ever seen have been missionaries of the Cross.  Happiness doesn’t depend upon where we are.  It depends on what we are.  The Apostles could sing in dungeons.  Martyrs have been able to shout when they were burning at the stake.  To you who read these lines, let me suggest that you yield yourself fully and unconditionally to God and let His will be done in your life.  This is the secret of happiness.”
