SVDP QUOTE: December 6

 

"Indiscreet zeal is not good ... people often spoil good works by rushing ahead and by acting according to their own inclinations which, contrary to common sense, make them think that the good they see to be done is feasible and timely, although this is not so; their error is recognized in the resulting lack of success." ~ St. Vincent de Paul

 

O God, sometimes I discourage others by holding to my own ideas because I think they are superior to theirs. Forgive me for this and give me the humility to listen and be open to others.
