Everyone who breathes, high and low, educated and ignorant, young and
old, man and woman, has a mission, has a work. We are not sent into this world
for nothing; we are not born at random; we are not here, that we may go to bed
at night, and get up in the morning, toil for our bread, eat and drink, laugh
and joke, sin when we have a mind, and reform when we are tired of sinning,
rear a family and die. God sees every one of us; He creates every soul, . . .
for a purpose. He needs, He deigns to need, every one of us. He has an end for
each of us; we are all equal in His sight, and we are placed in our different
ranks and stations, not to get what we can out of them for ourselves, but to
labor in them for Him. As Christ has His work, we too have ours; as He rejoiced
to do His work, we must rejoice in ours also.
Blessed John Henry Newman
