The Victor's Place 
Dear Fr. Victor- Thanks for today’s meditation which sounds similar to one of my favorites of
his writings. Peace, Gloria
We should tend to our worldly concerns with care and diligence, but not with solicitude, worry
or anxiety. The angels have care for our salvation and they do it diligently, not with anxiety.
Care and diligence may be accompanied with tranquility and peace of mind, but they are
weakened by worry and solicitude and certainly by anxiety…
Undertake all of your duties with a calm mind and try to do them one at a time. If you try to do them all at once, or without order, your spirits will be so overcharged and depressed that they
will likely sink under the burden and nothing will be done.
In all your affairs rely on the Providence of God through which alone you must look for success.
Strive quietly to cooperate with its designs. If you have a sure trust in God, the success that
comes to you will always be that which is most useful to you, whether it appears good or bad in
your private judgment.
-Francis De Sales
