"He [God] does not come in
extraordinary events, but in everyday things; He manifests Himself in everyday
things. He is there, in our daily work, in a chance encounter, in the face of
someone in need, even when we face days that seem grey and monotonous, it is
right there that we find the Lord, who calls to us, speaks to us and inspires
our actions."
--Pope Francis, Angelus Address, November 27, 2022
"Vigilance means first of all openness to the good, to the truth, to God, in the midst of an often meaningless world and in the midst of the power of evil. It means that man tries with all his strength and with great sobriety to do what is right; it means that he lives, not according to his own wishes, but according to the signpost of faith."
--Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth--Holy Week: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection (Ignatius Press, 2011), pp. 287-288
