We should humbly and realistically accept our limitations both in prayer
and in action. It rests with us to devote ourselves to prayer, to prepare
ourselves for it, to begin to pray, and to advance as best as we can, but we
will come up against a limit beyond which only the Holy Spirit can enable us to
pass. It is the same with action. We can indeed expend ourselves on a variety
of activities but we shall find our limitations in the strength we bring to
them, in our courage an detachment, and, above all, in the perfecting of our
charity. Only the Holy Spirit can take us beyond these limitations. Whether in
prayer or in action, we are, then, wholly dependent on the Holy Spirit.
